A timely, must-have guide to understanding and overcoming bias in the
workplace, from the experts at FranklinCovey.
Unconscious bias affects everyone. It can look like the disappointment
of an HR professional when a candidate for a new position asks about
maternity leave. It can look like preferring the application of an Ivy
League graduate over one from a state school. It can look like assuming
a man is more entitled to speak in a meeting than his female junior
colleague.
Ideal for every manager who wants to understand and move past their own
preconceived ideas, The Leader's Guide to Unconscious Bias explains
that bias is the result of mental shortcuts, our likes and dislikes, and
is a natural part of the human condition. And what we assume about each
other and how we interact with one another has vast effects on our
organizational success--especially in the workplace. Teaching you how to
overcome unconscious bias, this book provides more than thirty unique
tools, such as a prep worksheet and a list of ways to reframe your
unconscious thoughts.
According to the experts at FranklinCovey, your workplace can achieve
its highest performance rate once you start to overcome your biases and
allow your employees to be whole people. By recognizing bias,
emphasizing empathy and curiosity, and making true understanding a
priority in the workplace, we can unlock the potential of every person
we encounter.
