Leaders often emerge when others perceive their capabilities, authority and expertise.
Event Details
Authority is granted, whereas expertise develops over time through personal interactions, and/or experience. The demonstrated ability to select, match and or adapt responses to a given situation depends on the number, variety and results of previous experiences. The more reliably an individual demonstrates results, the more dependable they become and others willingly grant them greater responsibilities.
Hal the computer in 2001 challenged the authority of humans' leadership and command. Today's computers and assorted decision support systems such as navigation, or pattern matching diagnostics increasingly alter human experiences and decision-making capabilities. Many tasks at home or work depend on machines' reliability and our perception of their authority and expertise. Do I trust my intuition and knowledge or what the application on my phone tells me?
When do intuition and subjective expertise based on human experience produce greater value than the growing array of automated decision-making support systems produce?
If you've ever ignored the advice of your navigation system, or rekeyed a google search to improve the results or doubt results delivered via technical means than the March discussion offers you to think strategically with your peers about the implications.
