Therefore, it should be pretty simple to root out these unwanted biases, but unfortunately, it is not. Remember that all biases are nothing more than random generalizations and personal preferences, not rooted in facts, and should never be a part of corporate decision-making. Unconscious bias can play a huge and rather destructive role in workplace decision-making if you allow it to do so. How does unconscious bias affect the workplace? Psychologists call this handy cheat sheet, your unconscious bias. So, to make all those decisions, you rely on a built-in cheat sheet that you can use to streamline the decision-making process and it all happens without you even realizing it. If you had to spend your time analyzing each of the possible solutions to a problem, starting with a blank slate, you'd be lucky to get anything done at all. Although some routine choices run up against are direct and straightforward, most situations on the job will require you to lean heavily on your knowledge, your analytical skills or past experiences to resolve them.
As a manager, you need the flexibility to make split-second decisions, day in and day out, tracking advancement on various projects, making sure the team member has made progress in delivering on their tasks, deciding whether to pursue a business opportunity or not, plan the strategy and priorities for the next year or month, when to host the next team meeting, brainstorm or outing, and everything else in between.
