    Uncovering Bias: How to Identify and Mitigate Systemic Issues

    In this episode of the Leadership Without Losing Your Soul Podcast, David Dye sits down with Binna Kandola to explore the impact of bias on our thinking and decision-making. Bias can lead to snap judgments and stereotypes. Unconscious bias is even trickier because it's the bias you're not even aware of. In the workplace, this can show up in all sorts of ways—like favoritism, self-serving decisions, or even age bias. So, what can you do about it? Recognizing and addressing unconscious bias is key to building a more inclusive, human-centered workplace. Start by pausing and reflecting before you make judgments. Make it a habit to seek out diverse perspectives and be open to feedback from others. While it's tough to completely eliminate bias, raising your awareness and actively working to minimize its effects can lead to more inclusive and effective leadership.
