Abstract: This article delves into prevalent challenges and issues encountered in the process of identifying candidates for promotion within organisations. It expounds upon well-known obstacles such as the unconscious bias or the Dunning-Kruger effect, aiming to elucidate their widespread impact. The following part of the article, grounded in a comprehensive literature review, introduces recommendations to circumvent and mitigate these issues. By doing so, the article provides actionable solutions for organisations seeking to avert the promotion of individuals lacking competence. Finally, a section on further research is presented.
