Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, is a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge overestimate their own competence relative to the performance of their peers or of people in general[1].
Unfortunately, this has been found to be more pronounced in men[2]. Looking at the fact that America's 500 highest-grossing companies, translates to around 85 percent male[3] and compounding this with reduced neuroplasticity of the main CEO age group and a higher representation of psychopathy traits in CEOs, there may be a compound negative feedback loop in the selection of our leaders.
