What is bias?
A judgment made even with compellingdata and informationto the contrary
Bias
A judgment made without being aware that we are doing so
UnconsciousBias
Both influence how we categorize, treat, engage and position people we interact with on a daily basis. And neither is appropriate when managing talent.

Two levels of thinking
First Levelthis is where we think we think…
“higher” deliberate rational thoughtful
Second Levelthis is where we operate most often
“lower” automatic impulsive unthinking

Brain researchers estimate the human mind takes in 11 million pieces of information per second through our senses. • Our brain is consciously aware of only ~40 of them• The unconscious mind, operating on “autopilot,” manages
the rest• The brain creates “mental shortcuts” to help us interpret
information faster and save energy in making decisions• We rely on our past experiences in order to do this; when
faced with similar situations/people we automatically make these associations

Tolerance scale
To you, these people are different in ways that are not normal. You believe they do not belong in your workplace. Working with them causes you a lot of discomfort.
You see these people’s differences as positives, and consider them to possess traits you value. You enjoy and choose to be around them.
These people’s differences don’t really matter to you. You pay most attention to the ways in which they are the same as you and tend to ignore the ways in which they are different.
You don’t feel completely comfortable with these people’s differences. You believe they have a right to be treated respectfully, but if you had your choice, you would not have them as co-workers or customers.
You clearly feel uncomfortable around people with these differences. You try to avoid them and do not want to work with them.

Tips for managing unconscious bias
1. Self-awareness q Become aware of areas in which you may be particularly prone to biases
2. External Awareness—Gain a full and accurate understanding of others
q Get to know others as individuals so you have more data to break biases
q Create a culture where feedback from others helps one to become aware of one’s unconscious biases. Otherwise, biases remain out of one’s conscious
3. Self managementq Become aware of and manage your emotional and behavioral reactions to others. Otherwise, you
operate in Level 2 thinking and react based on biases.
4. Process management q Implement processes that promote inclusion in the workplace, such as in the ways talent selection
and employee development is conducted. Otherwise, these hidden side effects of unconscious bias remain a drag on organizational effectiveness.

q Check your own biases and assumptions to make sure they are not impacting your behaviors and decisions.
q Ask questions to learn about others’ day-to-day experiences and what you can do to support them. Then, take action to address these items.
q Find opportunities to expand your knowledge of different cultures through books, movies, and social gatherings.
q When making a decision that affects many, make an effort to get input from those whom you would not typically consult.
q Increase awareness of your own cultural norms and values to understand why some cross-cultural interactions might feel awkward or inappropriate.
q Consider the impact of your words and actions before you say or do anything that might be perceived as exclusionary.
q Increase your understanding of the differences that can matter, such as age, tenure, gender, communication style, race, and sexual orientation, by doing some research, reading books, viewing movies, attending cultural events, etc.
q Demonstrate congruency between your words stating that you support diversity and inclusion, and your actions. Adopt this lens when making decisions about hiring, promoting, and forming teams.
q Initiate a reciprocal mentoring relationship with a person who is different from you (age, thinking style, race, culture, etc.) to foster two-way learning.
Additional actions you can take as an inclusive leader
