Why we fall victim to biases

5 sneaky ways they sabotage our success

If you are not good at making choices – how do you overcome your biases and make better decisions? In the video, we explore five biases and how to mitigate their effects on us.

A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pattern of deviation from rationality or objective judgment in human thinking. It is a tendency for the human mind to make errors in processing information, often resulting in subjective judgments and decisions that deviate from logical or evidence-based reasoning.

Unlock the Secret to Effective Leadership

When you hear the word ‘leadership’, most people will discuss leadership styles. There is an endless of these, which is not the most helpful. We are often asked, “What is it that leaders should be doing?” This is a far more interesting question, so we thought about it, researched it, tested it and created the 3Ps of leadership. We discuss the 3Ps in our webinar accompanying these slides; you can catch the recording here.

Unlock the Secrets to Effective Leadership

  • Are you a leader seeking clarity and effectiveness in today’s ever-evolving landscape?
  • Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the mounting expectations and complexities of leadership?
  • Despite your hard work, do you sometimes feel like you’re not making the impact you’d hoped for?

If so, watch our webinar, which will empower leaders like you.

Why watch?

In a world where leadership is more diverse and remote than ever, navigating the commercial landscape filled with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) is challenging. The modern leader is not only expected to lead but also to adapt and execute effectively amidst rapid changes and information overload.

Join us for this insightful session where we will explore:

  • Purpose: Learn to engage your team with a compelling “why” that drives motivation and alignment.
  • People: Discover strategies to build and nurture a high-performing team that thrives in any environment.
  • Productivity: Master the art of executing plans and delivering results through others, even in the face of uncertainty.

What You’ll Gain:

  • Practical insights into the evolving role of leadership.
  • Tools and strategies to enhance your effectiveness and productivity.
  • Clarity on how to lead with purpose and build a cohesive team.

Is it for me?

This webinar is perfect for current and aspiring leaders eager to enhance their leadership skills and navigate the complexities of today’s business world. Take advantage of this opportunity to redefine your leadership approach and gain valuable insights from experts who have worked with leaders worldwide.

Why is this leadership role harder than my last one?

Every leadership role you undertake is slightly different. Different people, different problems, different cultures, maybe just a different time and place. Our ability to lead can be as much about the context or situation we find ourselves in as it is the skills we bring to the party!

As part of our series of questions commonly raised in our coaching practice, Ricky and Paul explore the situation that many people find themselves in: doing the things that have always worked for them and finding that, for some reason, this time,, they do not get the outcomes they envisaged.
