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