The Difference Between Nepotism and Cronyism

What does it mean when Nepotism impacts who we hire and promote, and what does it mean when Cronyism impacts who we hire and promote? Do they mean the same thing? In this episode of Know the Difference, we are going to explore the key differences between what it means when we hire members of our family and what it means when we hire people we like or will agree with us. In the minds of most people, there is the expectation that the hiring process should always be objective, never complicated with personal conflicts, and those who are given the authority to hire will be impartial and not allow for personal advantage. Now in the vast majority of organizations, that is an expectation that is held and protected in policy. But is always avoiding hiring people you have a personal connection with really possible? Let’s get started by first defining Nepotism and Cronyism. Nepotism is the act of granting an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives in an occupation or field. This looks like hiring and promoting a member of your family. Something that is not always avoidable, but really doesn’t look good in the eyes of most people. Whereas Cronyism is the act of granting important jobs or privileges to friends or like-minded acquaintances, regardless of their qualifications, rather than to independent people who have the necessary skills and experience. Now Ideally, your hiring practices and employee recruitment are intentionally looking for people who are qualified for the role and have all of the necessary skills and experience.
