Don't trust anyone who talks about research unless they have these 9 traits: - They encourage you to think for yourself - They have a reputation for critical thinking - They have expertise relevant to the research - They explain complex concepts in simple language - They are transparent about the limitations of the research - They share details so you can independently verify what they say - They have a track record of accurately presenting research findings - They reveal their bias and explain how it influences what they are telling you This is great way for you to assess who you think is credible for the long term. Share this with someone who doesn’t like experts.
Excellent post Dr. Jonathan Ashong-Lamptey. I see it countless times, many cite articles which conform to their own bias point of view. Only those who have truly researched know what research is. Each point hit the spot here.
I love these… especially the revealing of bias. That’s the bit that’s often forgotten, because sometimes it takes a bit of work to recognise where bias lies when engaging with research.
This is a brilliant checklist - thank you for sharing it Dr. Jonathan Ashong-Lamptey
This is spot on. ?? Say it louder! ????
As a scientist—and a former researcher—I agree with each of these traits! The first and the fourth definitely stand out for me though. I would say the value in research is that it helps people make better decisions. But people can only do that if they think for themselves and if the information is given to them in ways they can understand.
"They explain complex concepts in simple language" ?????? This is one of the things you do so brilliantly.
Thank you for sharing Dr. Jonathan Ashong-Lamptey. Not only do they have expertise relevant to the research, they're also passionate about it. The explanation from complex to simple is done both in spoken and written language.
If I may add a 10th trait... - They are open to being asked questions about the research.
Coaching leaders and doing what needs to be done
1 年Great breakdown, Dr. Jonathan Ashong-Lamptey —re: track record, I think it's also useful to look for people who go back and correct both factual & positioning problems in their own communication.
