Your host will make unambiguously clear when he is talking about opinion rather than facts. He will address your challenges as a leader or someone who wants to be one and how to overcome them. The challenges you face as a leader in today's business world come from many different aspects of an organisation. Finding the right way to communicate and managing conflicts are just the beginning. Excellent presentations skills are a must today besides dealing with change inside and outside the teams which you have to lead — keeping motivation high means that you must be able to have skills of influence without being manipulative. Negotiate and set goals, be creative and innovative, make the right decisions and position yourself in a business work which heavily relies on networking. You must deliver all this at the best quality with efficient and effective processes during projects which must be on time, on track, on target but under budget. Moreover, of course, you must recruit, develop and retain the best talents of your industry. Your employer's brand and business storytelling become a significant part of your work today. At the same time, hard skills as forecasting, planning, conceptualisation are part of you as a leader mastering Strategy. Of course, selling the products has to work as well in challenging and competitive environments. Niels Brabandt, owner and founder of NB Networks, your host, will help to become a (better) leader.© Niels Brabandt / NB Networks Ltd. All right reserved. Economía Gestión Gestión y Liderazgo

    #484 The Leader's Myth of Neutrality: Niels Brabandt on Unconscious Bias, Performance Reviews and Evidence-Based Leadership
    Feb 25 2026

    In this episode, Niels Brabandt examines the leader's myth of neutrality and explains why true objectivity in leadership is far more complex than many executives assume.

    Using a documented legal case as a starting point, Niels Brabandt analyses how unconscious bias shapes performance evaluations, promotion decisions and corporate governance. He outlines practical steps leaders must take to move from subjective judgement to evidence-based decision-making.

    Key topics include:

    • The illusion of neutrality in leadership
    • Unconscious bias and its organisational impact
    • Performance reviews grounded in documented evidence
    • Legal risks of subjective promotion criteria
    • The difference between professional standards and personal preference
    • Awareness training and structured bias qualification
    • Data-driven leadership and measurable accountability

    This episode is essential listening for CEOs, executives, board members, HR leaders and decision-makers in business who seek to strengthen credibility, fairness and governance standards.
