189. Harnessing the Power of Bias with Lisa Tromba
💭 What if the very qualities we admire in leaders, like persistence, could also be their pitfalls?
Explore the cognitive labyrinth of leadership with Lisa Tromba, managing partner and co-founder of Lisa Tromba Associates, and the author behind the groundbreaking book, "Mind Knots."
Tune in as Lisa uncovers the eight core biases that shape leadership, steeped in years of research and practical client interactions. As she narrates her journey from a blue-collar upbringing to becoming a thought leader in executive search, her wisdom on breaking free from societal scripts offers profound insights for personal and professional growth.
The episode delves into the complexities of mental shortcuts and biases in leadership selection. Lisa and I discuss how biases can influence hiring decisions, potentially leading to poor team dynamics. Whether it's the egocentric bias or the curse of knowledge, uncover the dual nature of these mental shortcuts—how they can both undermine and bolster leadership quality. Learn strategies for balancing these biases, ensuring that the hiring process is not just efficient but also equitable and effective.
Finally, we dissect the broader implications of biases in business decision-making. Lisa shares essential tools for maintaining rational leadership, emphasizing the value of diverse perspectives. From conscious pauses to cross-domain experiences, discover how these strategies can help mitigate biases and foster a more inclusive decision-making process.
Lisa's favorite book, "Range" by David Epstein, serves as a testament to the power of being a generalist.
Join us for a rich conversation filled with actionable strategies and personal anecdotes aimed at driving effective leadership and continuous growth.
