INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP

This 4-part advanced training series is designed for leaders and executives who are ready to deepen their understanding of how bias shapes leadership and decision-making. Participants will explore the most common implicit biases that subtly impact hiring, performance evaluations, team dynamics, and strategic planning. Each session offers real-world executive scenarios, interactive discussions, and evidence-based strategies for reducing bias and fostering inclusive habits that lead to stronger teams, more informed decisions, and more equitable outcomes. Completion of Implicit Bias Awareness (IB 101) and Implicit Bias Mitigation (IB 201) is recommended, but not required, before enrolling in Inclusive Leadership.

 

In Part 1, we examine affinity bias—favoring those who are similar to us—and its impact on mentorship and promotions. Part 2 examines confirmation bias, where leaders tend to seek information that supports their views while overlooking contradictory evidence. In Part 3, we examine attribution bias, which leads to misjudging others' actions based on stereotypes rather than context—for example, attributing a missed deadline to laziness rather than workload. Part 4 addresses halo and horns effects, where one positive or negative trait unfairly shapes our overall impression of someone.  ​
