An imperative guide to understanding and addressing bias in the workplace, from the experts at FranklinCovey. Unconscious bias affects everyone. It can manifest as the frustration of an HR professional when a candidate for a new position asks about maternity leave or as the preference for a university graduate's application over that of a state school graduate. It can also manifest in the assumption that a man has more authority to speak in a meeting than his younger female colleague. Ideal for any manager looking to understand and overcome their preconceived notions, the book "Unconscious Bias" explains that bias is the result of mental shortcuts, our likes and dislikes, and is a natural part of the human condition. What we assume about each other and the way we interact has huge implications for our organizational success — especially in the workplace. The book teaches how to overcome unconscious bias, offering more than thirty unique tools, such as a preparation sheet and a list of ways to reframe your unconscious thoughts. According to FranklinCovey experts, your workplace can achieve its highest performance rate once you begin to overcome your biases and allow your employees to be complete individuals. By recognizing bias, emphasizing empathy and curiosity, and prioritizing true understanding in the workplace, we can unleash the potential of every individual we encounter.
