Description

As a leader, you will make many decisions. You will have choices to make. But how do you guard yourself against bias? How do you ensure fairness in opportunity and in how your team is treated? We must be aware of any bias we have both, conscious and subconscious, to ensure all have the opportunity if they do the hard work to improve themselves and to be ready for the next level. Further, we need to check our bias in all problem-solving activities and projects.

Episode outline:

  1. Building trust is the cornerstone of leadership,
  2. Root causes of our bias,
  3. Confirmation bias reinforces our own position, and
  4. How do we overcome bias?
