Friday Forum: Managing People :: Invisible Bias
Even experienced leaders make decisions influenced by unconscious biases — often without realizing it.
These biases affect how teams interpret information, evaluate ideas, and decide whose voice carries weight.
For our May forum we’ll host a guest speaker conversation exploring how bias shapes leadership decisions and what people can do to mitigate it.
Topics we’ll explore:
• Common cognitive biases in organizational decision making
• How bias influences hiring, promotion, and idea evaluation
• Techniques for slowing down flawed decision patterns
• How teams can create better decision environments
The session will include a short talk followed by Q&A and discussion with the community.
If you regularly need to influence decisions across teams, this conversation will offer practical insights.
