Discover the hidden impact of cognitive biases on your career . . .

In the complex realm of the modern workplace, cognitive biases are stealthy saboteurs that can silently influence our decision-making and interactions.

You might believe you’re immune to biases, but the truth is, they affect each and every one of us.

Numerous scientific studies indicate that certain biases are deeply ingrained in our human nature.

Professor Stephen Neuberg’s research at Arizona State University highlights how our evolutionary history wired us to assess threats from outsiders, a trait that once ensured survival.

Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman has explored this phenomenon extensively in his renowned work, “Thinking, Fast and Slow.”

While our ancestors needed swift information processing for survival, today’s work environments demand complex decision-making. This evolutionary quick-thinking system has its flaws, giving rise to the cognitive biases that silently shape our thoughts and actions.
