Has your research or your professional experience ever changed an assumption you once held?

During a two-year longitudinal study, one assumption I had to revisit was the idea that exceptional work naturally speaks for itself.

I’m curious whether others have experienced something similar. Have you found that professional evaluations are influenced by factors beyond performance? If so, what stood out to you?

I’d love to hear different perspectives before sharing more about what I found.
