Ep. 16 Confirmation Bias is a Leadership Poison

In this episode of the Kutz & Konin Leadercast Podcast Drs. Kutz and Konin discuss confirmation bias, the availability heuristic, and hindsight bias and muse over how these cognitive biases impact our thinking and position us (and the leaders in our worlds) to miss/ignore useful and needed information. Make no mistake, ALL leaders are subject to confirmation bias as it relates to their goals and agendas for an organization, but leaders in stakeholder-value driven organizations, typically non-profits and volunteer groups, run a greater risk of confirmation bias.... listen in to hear what it is and why it happens.
