DECISION-MAKING FOR LEADERS:
Managing Cognitive Biases
“Our comforting conviction that the world makes sense rests on a secure foundation: our almost unlimited ability to ignore our ignorance.”
Cognitive biases can cloud even the most experienced leader’s judgment.
This course helps leaders recognize and mitigate the biases that affect decision-making, both in themselves and in the teams they lead.
