Who Are You Calling Biased?

Nobody wants to be thought of as biased. It conjures up images of prejudice and closed-mindedness. A bias, however, is simply a deeply held opinion or a subjective view. Biases are normal, a healthy part of life, and we’ve all got them. They come from many places:

  • Our lives; including religion, schooling, friends, relatives, and heritage.

  • Overt work influences, more specifically, our perception of the corporate vision and our personal and departmental goals.

  • Subtle work influences; which entails the corporate culture, including work experiences and the stories and heroes within our work environment.
