                     UNCONSCIOUS BIAS 潛在的偏見

                     Let’s start with a phrase you need to understand
                — unconscious bias. My experience has been that as
                soon as someone sees the word “bias,” the immediate
                reaction is, “I don’t have bias,” and then they dismiss
                it. Stay with me for a minute because it plays a
                significant role in shaping how and why women do
                or do not get into leadership roles.

                     Unconscious bias refers to a natural programming of the brain where we jump to
                assumptions and conclusions without realizing it. This applies to how we perceive other
                people and can influence people and situations without us ever knowing we are doing it.

                     Unconscious bias causes us to seek out people who are more like us in various ways
                (e.g., looks, behaviors, interests, hobbies, culture, etc.). This, in turn, impacts who we
                interact with, who gets our attention, who we influence and how we make decisions.

                     If approximately 80% of our leadership is male, the unconscious bias theory would
                indicate those male leaders may have been grooming men more often than women by
                bringing men into situations and opportunities that helped give them valuable experiences
                to advance their careers, without ever realizing they were doing it with a bias toward men.

                me, they remind me of what I was like when I was climbing the ladder©and so on.
