The second in the successful Delta talks… series sees Delta CEO and Founder Dr. Doyin Atewologun and Dorothea Bannerman-Bruce, Head of Lawyer learning at Linklaters, discuss the meritocracy myth.

Who’s talking?

 

Dr. Doyin Atewologun, Director of Delta Alpha Psi, Dean of the Rhodes Scholarship at the University of Oxford, and multi award winning chartered business psychologist in conversation with Dorothea Bannerman-Bruce, Head of Lawyer Learning at Linklaters, and experienced learning & development specialist with a demonstrated passion for talent management, career development, coaching, personnel management, and employee engagement.

  • Help you understand why assuming meritocracy is the status quo in your organisation is problematic.
