As leaders, we need to understand and manage implicit biases because they impact our hiring choices, promotion and succession decisions and our policies. To hire and retain top talent, we need to remove bias from the decision making process as much as possible. During this show, Rebecca talks about her research and extensive work in this field. She discusses: 1. What is implicit bias? 2. What is the business case for addressing it? 3.
