“Well, I could be
wrong, but I believe
diversity is an old, old
wooden ship that was
used during the Civil
War era.”
-Ron Burgundy (Anchorman)
Inclusion?
What does that mean?
Who is included in
what?
What kind of things do
you do to be inclusive?

Top Regrets of The Dying
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life
true to myself, not the life others
expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express
my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my
friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

These theorems that when
solving problems, diversity can
trump ability and that when
making predictions, diversity
matters just as much as ability
are not political statements.
They are mathematical
truths.-Scott Page
Groups often fail to
outperform individuals
because they prematurely
move to consensus, with
dissenting opinions being
suppressed or dismissed.
-Hackman, Morris (1975) Advances in Experimental
Social Psychology
groupthink:
mode of thinking that happens
when the desire for harmony in a
decision-making group overrides a
realistic appraisal of alternatives.
Group members try to minimize
conflict and reach a consensus
decision without critical evaluation
of alternative ideas or viewpoints.

social network analysis
From time to time people discuss
important matters with other
people. Looking back over the
past six months, who are the
people with whom you discussed
matters important to you?
social network analysis
Consider the people you
communicate with in order to get
your work done. Of all the
people you have communicated
with during the last six months,
who has been the most important
for getting your work done?
social network analysis
Consider an important project or
initiative that you are involved in.
Consider the people who would be
influential for getting it approved
or obtaining the resources you
need. Who would you talk to, to
get the support you need?
social network analysis
Who do you socialize with?
(spending time with people after
work hours, visiting one another at
home, going to social events, out
for meals and so on) Over the last
6 months, who are the main people
with whom you have socialized
informally?

“Time and again, the research
shows that interviews are
poor predictors of job
performance because we tend
to hire people we think are
similar to us rather than those
who are objectively going to
do a good job.”-Ori Brafman, quoted in “Overcoming the ‘Sway’ in
Professional Life”. The New York Times July 15, 2008.
Less than 15% of American men
are over six foot tall, yet almost
60% of corporate CEOs are over
six foot tall. Less than 4% of
American men are over six foot,
two inches tall, yet more than
36% of corporate CEOs are over
six foot, two inches tall.

Using data from actual auditions for 8
orchestras over the period when
screens were introduced, auditions
with screens substantially increased
the probability that women were
advanced (within the orchestra) and
that women were hired. These results
parallel those found in many studies of
the impact of blind review of journal
article submissions.Caffrey, M. (1997, May 12). Blind auditions help women. Princeton Weekly Bulletin. Based on Goldin, C & Rouse, C. (2000).

mental associations without:
• awareness
• intention
• control
These often conflict with our conscious
attitudes, behaviors, and intentions.
What is Unconscious Bias?
anterior
cingulate cortex:
autonomic
functions, rational
functions
(decision-making,
empathy, reaction
to reward,
emotion, etc.)
It requires no hatred or fear to
assign meaning to the things
that we see, we do it
automatically.
The problem is that we forget,
do not realize, or deny that
this even happens.
mental associations without:
• awareness
• intention
• control
These often conflict with our conscious
attitudes, behaviors, and intentions.
What is Unconscious Bias?
stereotype
An idea or image; a mental
framework that contains our
knowledge, beliefs,
expectations and feelings
about a social group.
Stereotypes allow for no
individuality.
do stuff!
• start with yourself
• give your organization (and your
HR function) an accurate and up to
date understanding of human
behavior
• look for opportunities to mitigate
bias in decision making about
individuals (interviewing, hiring
decisions, evaluation, etc.)
