Bias does not only affect research; it also influences how we lead, listen, and communicate. Use a reputable search tool to review common forms of bias such as confirmation bias, cultural bias, gender bias, or sampling bias. You may use Business Source Complete through myDHA, Google Scholar, PubMed, or other respected academic search tools.

Choose three types of bias that resonate with you. Reflect on how becoming more aware of these biases might affect the way you communicate as a leader. How might they shape your perceptions, your tone, or your credibility with others?

Recognizing your own biases is an important step toward becoming a more effective and self-aware communicator.
