The Leaders Guide to Unconscious Bias Paperback – 1 January 2020

Every word in this book is hard hitting and yet immensely readable. I would highly recommend including this book in school and college curriculum. Its a must read for every human being. I've already recommended this to half a dozen people

It’s an incredibly well-written and thoughtful book with relatable examples and worksheets to deepen the understanding and integration of knowledge.

“In our framework, identifying bias helps us make progress at the individual level. Cultivating meaningful connection helps us make progress at the interpersonal level. And choosing courage helps us make progress on bias at all levels.”The authors did a great job in the style of writing, making it an engaging and progressive journey. From clearly defining bias, how it affects performance and the importance specific to leaders, teams and organizations. Well written and thought provoking, with the many gems of information to the tools provided to allow opportunity for Reflection and Application at the end of each chapter. This really allowed opportunity to pause, take time to reflect and digest to the points outlined in each section. The real-world examples really help to take away actionable/tangible scenarios vs theoretical ideas.“To be human is to have bias.” The authors did an incredible job of taking a topic that may be uncomfortable for some to discuss and found ways to make it tangible and relatable. Facing this fact and understanding our part in bias takes reflection and courage. This book helps navigate that process, providing a deep dive into various aspects of bias, how to approach and how to reframe our thought process and awareness. This is a must for all team members to strengthen teams and organizations alike.I highly recommend this book! I will be re-reading this book to pick up additional insights and because bias is a journey we must continue to navigate.

Really great book - easy to read and practical too.

This is a very useful book because it doesn't just provide content and leaves it with you. Two value added components make this book great. One, Pamela got 2 leaders, who have been the receiving end (victims even) of bias, to share stories to support the concepts. It does help readers to become more aware that these things do happen to real people. The second value-adding component, to me, is more useful because Pamela added reflection and application questions at the end of each chapter. If the chapter made a big enough impact on you, those questions help you to think deeper and plan follow up actions.

I bought this book for a class I’m taking. However, as a manager, I found this book intriguing and insightful. I think it should be required reading for new managers. Book provides knowledge as well as practical exercises for you to do to learn about your own biases.
