Leaders often encounter several perceptual biases, including:
1. Confirmation Bias: Favoring information that confirms preexisting beliefs. 2. Halo Effect: Allowing one positive trait to influence overall perception. 3. Anchoring: Relying too heavily on the first piece of information encountered. 4. Stereotyping: Making generalized assumptions about individuals or groups.
Recognizing these biases is the first step toward mitigating their impact.
