As might be clear from the last several posts, I’m reading a lot about bias right now. I want to learn why we have such a hard time accepting variation as part of life (change happens), why we have a tendency to over-plan when we know it will lead to disappointment, why we deny that the disappointment has happened, why we blame circumstances beyond our control for repeated failures, and on and on.
In short, why do people repeatedly and predictably fall into traps of poor logic, bad citizenship, and self destruction?
If we as managers, as workers, as leaders, as humans – can’t get a grasp on why we make uninformed decisions or ignore information … how will we ever be able to make decisions effectively?
So … Stay Tuned for more Biases.
