Authority Bias in Leadership: Why Smart People Still Follow Bad Ideas
A title is not evidence. Authority bias is what happens when position gets treated like proof — and that's how bad ideas survive decades. Leaders, pastors, CEOs, and influencers can be sincere, gifted, and still be wrong. The fix isn't distrust. It's better questions. Separate the claim from the credential. Ask for the data. Build cultures where truth can speak — regardless of who's in the room.
