Ep. 195: Trier Bryant and Kim Scott | A Conversation About Bias: How Leaders Can Make Employees and Customers Feel Safe and Heard Customer Confidential: Untold Stories of Earned Growth

    • Management

Bias. We all have it. We form quick assessments of someone’s character off of their appearance alone, for instance. But those quick assessments can undermine customer and workplace relationships. What if more people were aware when bias was creeping into their perspective?
In this episode, Kim, Trier, and I discuss what a “just” work environment looks like—one in which bias, prejudice, and bullying are addressed early on. And we explore how proactive leaders who encourage all employees to speak up when they see or experience bias, discrimination, or bullying can jump-start this shift.
