Boss Position Does Not Prove Smartest
Why can it be harmful to assume a boss is automatically the smartest person because they became the boss?
The situation
A workplace discussion raises questions about the relationship between seniority, knowledge and judgement.
Recommended Response
B. Because position can come from experience, timing, confidence, politics, or opportunity, not only wisdom or skill.
Context matters. This is a recommendation for the situation described, not a rule for every interaction.
Why is B the recommended response?
Understanding this situation
A role can show responsibility, but it does not prove someone has the best judgement in every situation. Healthy teams respect roles while still checking facts, outcomes, and behaviour.
