Over the last few weeks, Julie’s awareness has been raised about how people make errors in their judgements of others and in this episode explains how we form our judgements of and the role of unconscious bias

No one knows everything, no one is perfect, we are all works in progress and our minds make connections and interpret them to make information personal and specific to us.

We process the information we think is specifically tailored to us as it saves us from thinking

We make thousands of decisions every day but it’s vital that the decisions that really matter are made on reflective judgement and conscious thinking, not on bias

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everyone makes judgements about others – we all do it
• Mental cognitive bias makes our judgements irrational
• Our cognitive bias helps us to take short cuts, to save time, we have part of the picture and we make the rest up from what we think we know
• We see and hear what we want to and we think what we want to, mostly unconsciously
• Cognitive bias can mean we can lose objectivity
• Bias can cut across all aspects of business and life
• Halo and horns – halo is when someone is appraised highly in all aspects because they excel in one area. Horns is appraising someone poorly in all areas because they have one negative characteristic
• It’s how you enter and leave a room. The first and last impressions you make are the ones that count
• We all try to find sources to justify what we are thinking
• Surface bias is making our judgements based on what we see and not being prepared too deep any deeper
• You may judge based on your personal standards rather than the standards required by the organisation
• Judgements can be made based on recency, events that have occurred very recently rather than over a complete period of time
• You need to consciously lead yourself

BEST MOMENTS

‘We all have judgements and we all have biases and it’s our job to work out what they are and if they help or hinder us and change them where necessary’

‘Humans like the world to make sense’

What do standards and targets mean for performance?

Standards provide a baseline and accountability along with equality for everyone in a business and allow you to evaluate and review where you are in your business and make forecasts about the future.

In this highly informative episode, Julie explains the difference between standards and targets and shares great content on how to create standards for your business and use them along with targets  to effectively drive your business forward.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A standard is something that gives a measure of performance and the size of the organisation is irrelevant
• A standard is the lowest level of acceptability across an organisation. A standard attaches to the task or behaviour and is a constant
• Standards need to be recognisable, if you can’t measure it or see it you can’t manage it
• Standards should be written down and referred to regularly
• The sooner you start to create your standards the better it will be as they are a foundational reference point for everyone in the business
• Standards should be set at the acceptable level
• The minimum level for acceptable performance means that anything lower is unacceptable
• You can employ people who are at an unacceptable level and bring them up to being acceptable and then move them  to the ideal level
• To get to a point of freedom you need to have standards and targets in place
• If you can build a business with people working in the areas they excel at then the business will do well
• If someone is not meeting the standards in their role they can be transitioned into a different role or retrained but action must be taken.
• A target is higher than a standard and helps people to give their best performance and achieve higher results

BEST MOMENTS

‘Standards cut across hierarchy, position and pay scales’

‘As an organisation, it really helps to write standards down to clarify them’

‘Challenging people increases motivation’
