Is success a matter of merit or unearned privilege?
In short: Lawyer Mariam Veiszadeh examines whether the status quo is a reflection of true merit or simply the result of unearned privilege. This video challenges the idea of quasi-equality in modern business and explores how to move toward genuine workplace inclusion.
The discussion focuses on the tension between seeing success as a reward for merit versus a byproduct of privilege. Veiszadeh argues that current business diversity efforts often fail by merely replicating existing biases rather than rooting them out. To achieve real change, organizations must move beyond superficial equality to address the systemic structures that prevent true inclusion.
