Strategies to Unbias Your Business Decision Making

De: Fabi Fugazza

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

No activity in organisations is more important than decision making.

Unconscious biases, however, cloud our view, and threaten our ability to make optimal, rational decisions. These biases impact our thinking without us even being aware of it and so, because we don't see our own unconscious biases, we often feel our decisions are based purely on "merit".

This is not so. This book will lift the cloud, explain why decisions made purely on merit are generally a "myth", and show you how unconscious bias impacts your decisions. This book will then provide you with practical strategies to minimise bias in your decision-making processes, helping you to optimise your organisational decision making and your organisational outcomes.

REVIEWS

“Each of us think we are immune from bias, yet, as Fabi Fugazza details, we are all highly prone to making poor and unfair decisions about our fellow humans. Born to be (Unconsciously) Biased methodically explains why we suffer this affliction and provides techniques for each of us to be better decision makers.”

“This book is a compelling deep dive into how decisions are made in business and is both thought-provoking and eye-opening. It will make you think twice about how you arrive at your decisions, and is engaging, well-researched, and yes, at times uncomfortable. A must-read for leaders in business.”
