Warmth Vs Competence

We usually think a person we have just meant is either more warm than competent, or more competent than warm, but not both in equal measure.

We classify new acquaintances into types.

  • More warm than competent = lovable fools
  • More competent than warm = competent jerks
  • Incompetent and cold = foolish jerks
  • Competent and warm = lovable stars

We don’t judge the two equally. Most people prioritize warmth over competence.

Your chance of being seen as an unlikeable but effective leader is about 1 in 2,000.
