Leader Behaviors
This course strengthens your skills in the following leader behaviors:
Bias is something that we all have within us. Biases shape the way we relate to our friends, customers and people around us. Not being aware of our biases can be counterproductive and could create an unhealthy work environment. This course will help build a foundation to recognize and acknowledge individual biases and minimize their impact. We will explore the two most common types of bias and identify skills to address and overcome personal bias.
This course is ideal for team leaders who are involved in key organizational processes such as recruitment, performance management, promotion, and team dynamics.
In this session, we will define bias and its impact within the organization and relationships. Participants will learn how to recognize their biases and identify different characteristics, situations and groups that are subject to biases.
Virtual Session (30 minutes) + Online Journal (15 minutes) + Activity (15 minutes)
In this session, we will explore the difference between implicit (conscious) bias and explicit (unconscious) bias. We will learn how we use bias to classify people and situations by making several automatic associations. We will explore why some people or situations give you an uneasy feeling and you feel uncomfortable with them.
Virtual Session (30 minutes) + Online Journal (15 minutes) + Activity (15 minutes)
