Scenario

When your team struggles with a colleague who creates intellectual hierarchy

Our department hired someone who's brilliant but completely dismisses ideas from anyone without an advanced degree and three of us only have bachelor's degrees and we're starting to self-censor in meetings. Management thinks he's great and we can't figure out how to address this without sounding petty.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The team needs to address how credentialism is silencing voices while finding ways to communicate concerns that will be heard by leadership.
