Stay alert for “bias traps”

“periodically taking a moment to interrupt your internal monologues to pay deeper attention to the people and events around you.”

Strategies for increasing self-awareness include mindfulness practices, which can bring submerged thoughts and feelings into the light of consciousness. As a result, you would be less likely to function on automatic pilot. Approaches for cultivating mindfulness include meditating, taking breaks from the distractions of digital apps and media, and periodically taking a moment to interrupt your internal monologues to pay deeper attention to the people and events around you.

Unconscious bias in the workplace is a performance issue.
Everyone has biases.
Stay alert for “bias traps” that lead to biased thinking.
Leaders can mitigate bias by nurturing community and connection.
Be courageous about confronting bias.
Address bias throughout your employees’ “talent lifecycle.”
