Why do we so often follow the most confident voice in the room—even when it’s not the most competent? In this episode, Martin Wolf and Dr. Verena Seibert-Giller explore the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias where people with lower ability tend to overestimate their competence, while true experts stay quiet—doubting themselves.

You’ll learn:

– Why loud confidence is often mistaken for competence in meetings

– How this bias can derail decision-making, innovation, and team trust

– What psychological traps meeting leaders fall into when they don’t actively manage group dynamics

– How to create meeting structures that amplify quiet expertise instead of just dominant voices

This episode offers practical advice for anyone running meetings—and a clear call to action for all the silent experts out there: your voice matters. Learn how to speak up with impact and how to build a team culture where knowledge wins over noise.
