Earlier in the course, you examined the importance of a diverse and inclusive culture. An inhibitor to this type of culture can be found through personal biases, which people often have without even realizing it. Individuals and organizations can help create a better culture by first acknowledging these biases and then taking steps to address them. It is important for managers to examine their own thoughts, behaviors, values, and biases to ensure they set a precedent for others.
In this Discussion, you will have the opportunity to analyze a time when your personal biases affected your choices. Based on this analysis, you will decide whether you would act differently if faced with a similar situation in the future.
