Every leader makes decisions. Some decisions affect profits. Some affect people. Some affect careers, reputation and the future of an organization.
But here is the problem:
leaders do not always make decisions based on reality. They often make decisions based on their “perception” of reality. And when that perception is distorted by cognitive bias, even intelligent and experienced leaders can make bad decisions.
This course helps you understand how cognitive bias silently influences leadership judgment, corporate decisions, hiring, promotions, performance appraisal, meetings, investments, strategy and crisis management.
You will learn the difference between heuristics and cognitive bias, how biases develop, why smart leaders sometimes make bad decisions, and how leaders can protect themselves from distorted thinking.
