I found an interesting article that talked about how some people with low abilities tend to inflate own self-assessments. The fact is not so surprising. Recently, I discussed this topic with my colleague because one of our clients has some trouble with his subordinates. He needed to get some advice (4)behind closed doors because He wants to (3)break out of this tough situation. The troublemakers became his subordinates because they were transferred from other departments. He couldn’t (1)break off this relationship. They have low job abilities and they don’t obey his orders even he explained the details of how they should they do it. This phenomenon is called the Dunning – Kruger effect in psychology.
Dunning and Kruger proved that people with low abilities usually have higher self-assessments and people with high abilities tend to have lower self-assessments. That result is a little bit scary for me, because I sometimes overestimate myself, but it brought on some solutions to remedy the situation with the troublemakers. How to bring natural awareness in their own self-evaluation is the key.

These days I discussed this topic with my colleague because of some our client has trouble his subordinates. He needed to get some advice (4)behind closed doors because He wants to (3)break out of the tough situation. The troublemakers became his subordinates who (2)broke out of other departments. He couldn’t (1)break off the decision. They were a low ability of job and they didn’t obey his order even he explained details how should they do. It calls Dunning – Kruger effect in the psychology.
Dunning and Kruger proved that Low ability people have higher self-assessments. High ability people tend to have lower self-assessments. That results is a little bit scary for me, because I sometimes overestimate, but it brought some solutions to treat troublemakers. How to bring natural awareness the real own evaluation to them, that is the key.
