@colorado_mom … right-o!
I found that if there is a ‘critical mass’ of mediocrity, nobody notices that everyone lacks skills.
The skills that a person needs in order to know that they do poorly are the same skills that they need to do well.
Anosognosia is a good term to know.
It also is the reason that highly skilled people under rate their abilities.
I went from one team with high level intelligence/skills/ambition to one that was 180 degrees opposite.
It’s heartbreaking. But most of the team has engineering degrees.
