What's LAUNCH for Lawyers: Bias @ Work All About?
Attorneys make millions of instantaneous decisions every day - decisions that can impact the outcomes of careers and lives. How do we process all the data that constantly surrounds us? How do the instant decisions we make affect how we view a person and interpret their actions? And what can we do once we recognize that our first impressions can lead to lasting impressions that are very difficult to change? This is our challenge with unconscious bias.
As a shortcut for our thinking, unconscious bias plays a crucial role in how we perceive people who are different, and how those initial conclusions can dramatically affect our belief of another person's competence, performance, and their ability to succeed inside and outside our legal workplaces
