According to MIT Sloan Professor Emilio J. Castilla, “only when employees, managers, and executives all share a common understanding of what merit actually is (and how to measure it) can we hope that the same standards will be applied consistently to all employees, regardless of demographic factors. This can help make the evaluation process more meritocratic, and the workplace more fair and diverse.”  Bias and favoritism can derail even the most talented professionals. Women and others who demonstrate strong technical skills must understand how to navigate the current merit-based era. Join the discussion and derive a solid plan of action.
