If you are human, you are biased. From this fundamental truth diversity expert Howard Ross explores the unconscious biases we each carry within us, working to inform every decision we make on a daily basis. Far from simply being malicious prejudgments of others and situations, these biases define what kind of decision makers we become, in the workplace, in the classroom, at the ballot box, and in our relationships with others. Incorporating anecdotes from today's headlines alongside case studies from over 30 years as a diversity consultant, Ross shows us how deeply rooted and relevant the discussions surrounding unconscious bias remains today. From the water cooler to the corner office, the biases in people's unconscious minds are an incredibly important factor in our lives, and in the lives of those whom our decisions affect. Though unconscious bias is something every human must contend with, and often fight to quell, Howard Ross by no means argues that our biases are permanent, nor are their consequences irreversible. Ross helps readers understand how to overcome and identify unconscious biases in their lives. He advocates strongly for the creation of more bias-conscious organizations in the belief that productivity, personal happiness and the overall flourishing of entire communities is possible if we first understand the widespread and powerful nature of the biases we don't even realize we have.
