Decision Quality - How Bias Shapes What We See and Choose
Program Details
Every leadership decision blends insight, experience, and assumption. Even skilled leaders rely on mental shortcuts (patterns shaped by culture, comfort, and habit) that quietly influence who gets heard and what gets prioritized.
This session explores how those hidden dynamics affect decision quality and organizational effectiveness. Participants will learn to recognize bias not as a moral flaw, but as a predictable factor that can be managed through awareness and intentional process design. Drawing on real-world examples from nonprofit strategy, hiring, and governance, we’ll examine how to identify when perception narrows perspective and how to broaden it.
Attendees will leave with practical reflection tools and discussion prompts to strengthen decision-making across leadership, hiring, and strategy conversations, improving both equity and organizational performance.
