#117. Exceptional Bias

from Evolve & Elevate · host Zama Mthombeni

Why do we celebrate our own breakthroughs but question similar breakthroughs in others? In this episode, I explore survivor's amnesia, exceptionalism bias, generational gatekeeping, and ladder pulling patterns that help explain why people often resist the very opportunities they once benefited from. From ministry and academia to the workplace and leadership, we examine what happens when our stories become exceptions rather than precedents. A thought-provoking conversation on power, identity, legitimacy, and the next generation.
