You will not eliminate all the bias at your company with a single effort or in a single year — and that should not be the goal. The goal should be to take small steps consistently. If you build evidence-based tweaks into your fundamental business systems, the organizational change you effect will be more resilient and long-lasting than a CEO-driven, conversation-based culture change.  The first step in removing bias is improving how you recruit and hire candidates.

Bias Is A Reality In Hiring

<ol><li>Upgrade your CV review process.</li><li>Commit to what’s important — and require accountability.</li><li>Rate independently, use a consistent rating scale, and discount outliers.</li><li>Ask questions about résumé gaps, instead of assuming the worst.</li><li>Provide all candidates with a handout detailing expectations.</li><li>Use structured interviews and ratings.</li><li>Rethink culture fit-It should not be a toll gate.</li><li>Ask performance-based questions and/or use work sample screenings.</li><li>Track what happens after the interview.</li></ol>

The Mindset Mentor - Don't Fear Death

The biggest hurdle we face while doing any task is before we actually start doing it. It's the motivation to come out of our comfort zone. We humans have this serious habit of procrastinating that it becomes a challenge on itself to even start doing something productive. So, no matter whether you want to fulfill your goal or not, you should start doing the task. Just take the first step of doing it.

Motivation To Start Doing The Task At Hand

Eg 1) If you need to work on a project, start with just the index of it, the first page, merely the heading and the topics to be covered. In doing this, we come out of our comfort and it's enough to start committing to our work at hand.Eg 2) If you need to complete your homework, take the first step. Take your books and Notebooks out, open the current page, place your pen in your fingers, sit in your study space.And bam!, you will suddenly feel an urge to accomplish something. This will be the right time for you to start working on your goal.

This has often hit me that I struggle the most to start doing a task rather than when I start doing it.

I am a graphic designer for 3 years now, once a 25 years experience graphic designer told me "I learned, what he learned in 7 years, in just 1.5 years" and all i was following these tips through out the year, now here we go.........

Why you should follow these tips?

<ul><li>Every job required some sort of mindset, designers needs time management, police need calmness, you must know the mindset of what you want to become....how they think, how they handle situations, if you want to become a CA then know what type of mindset a 10 years experience CA have. To do this you must listen to there Podcasts, meet them - vibe with their aura, etc In short - Know the phycology of that job</li></ul>

Know the mindset?

Knowing the history of anything increases your respect for that thing, if you simply say "India got independence in 1947" People be like "ohhh...that's good" but if you can elaborate it to them, tell them about Jallianwala Bagh, Mahatma Gandhi etc. Then they will understand how important this event was, just like that, knowing the history of your subject will increase its respect and importance in your eyes, what happened in history that leads to the invention of that subject, its Contribution to human society, you will come to know of many great names, who may becomes your mentor

Know the history?

Don't underestimate the power of imagination everything in this world got created twice once in mind then in the physical world. Imagine yourself having a conversation with your mentor ( basically have a conversation with yourself, imagining it with mentor is just one way) comes up with your own concepts, by questioning everything even if you know what it is still question it and comes up with different uses and concepts of same thing

Question Things?

Knowledge disappears, if it is not trapped in books, make a habit of documenting everything you have learned throughout the dayIt's also a good way to see where you were and where you are now (how far you've come)

Document it!!!!

These ideas are very useful for me, in every walk of my life whenever i try to learn something. They came in my dream, it was like god was guiding when i needed it the most

Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging  and negative thoughts. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes.

What Are Affirmations?

You might consider affirmations to be unrealistic "wishful thinking." But try looking at positive affirmations this way: many of us do repetitive exercises to improve our physical health, and affirmations are like exercises for our mind and outlook. These positive mental repetitions can reprogram our thinking patterns so that, over time, we begin to think – and act – differently.

How Positive Affirmations Works

Self-affirmation may also help to mitigate the effects of stress. In one study, a short affirmation exercise boosted the problem-solving abilities of "chronically stressed" subjects to the same level as those with low stress.

We make decisions every day, many of which are so straightforward that we hardly notice we are making them. But we tend to struggle when uncertainty is a probability.Humans generally use two decision-making strategies when faced with uncertainty: exploitation and exploration. Exploitation involves frequently choosing options that are familiar and provide a higher certainty of reward. Exploration involves trying out choices that are unfamiliar. In an uncertain and changing environment, it is thought that the best strategy is to <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/npp2017108">flexibly alternate </a>between exploration and exploitation.

We have to pump in more thoughts and clues to decide rightly in chaos and turmoil.

How uncertainty can impair our ability to make rational decisions

It means an absence of interpersonal fear. When psychological safety is present, people are able to speak up with work-relevant content.
For many people during the pandemic, the explicitness of the physical lack of safety has been experienced as a shared fear, which has allowed them to be more open and intimate and more able to voice their thoughts and concerns with colleagues.
This collective fear thus becomes a potential driver of collaboration and innovation, further contributing to an open environment for producing and sharing ideas that under normal conditions may have remained unshared.

Psychological safety

Even though face-to-face interactions allow for a level of intimacy and understanding that may be lost online, with video formats you can still pick up cues and detect whether someone’s in some period of mild distress.Leaping into task orientation too quickly may almost feel like a violation to the person on the other end of the call. Taking a pause to acknowledge where the person is and what they need can build trust over time and make the shared interaction emotionally less risky. Yet this might also make the exchanges themselves even more draining as you pause to doubt the interactions.

Building trust and confidence

What makes management by wandering around so successful is the ability to make a genuine link between a task or job and a larger overarching purpose.
Although not as spontaneous as walking around, video calls and chats, when kept to relatively small sizes, can still develop the connective tissue linking actions to a shared vision for the future.

Management by wandering

With tools like Zoom, communications have become more explicit and structured; leaders must ask direct questions about what’s working and what isn’t.

The degree to which leaders can manage their own stress and feelings, and the reason why emotional self-awareness and mindfulness are so important in times of crisis, is because leaders become emotional contagions, inflicting positive or negative feelings on others.And, although sometimes leaders may want to induce some stress into a situation to insert new energy and momentum, most of the time it’s better to engage people in positive pursuits to retain a higher level of creativity, productiveness, and engagement.

Emotional contagion in the workplace

We can’t be positively infectious with others unless we’re feeling inspired and sustained ourselves first. That’s what leaders managing high-stress positions need to do to take care of themselves and to then involve and take care of others.

As a leader in this point in time, you don’t want to be faking your emotions. There is an enormous need for genuineness and transparency. And that means some leaders might have to actually train themselves to be caring, curious, and positive, which is hard to do when you’re in a state of threat or fear when self-protection becomes an overwhelming instinct.
There is a strong temptation to just dive right into business without acknowledging what others might be up against. Best practice is therefore to stop, pause, breathe, and remind yourself to be interested in what’s going on for others.

The need for genuineness

A shared vision or shared sense of purpose is the strongest predictor of organizational-leadership effectiveness, engagement, organizational citizenship, and even product innovation. This is a time for leaders to try to invoke or provoke a degree of reflection, spending the time to talk about a shared sense of purpose and core values while also spending the time to emotionally check-in. Purpose and vision are critical today, but only to the extent that both are recognized as updatable, and reflective of a continuous learning process.

Our brains want to feel in control, and physical proximity is one way we can have that control. So even though we have the tools to bridge any virtual distance, it's still a natural tendency to give preferential treatment to those in arm's reach, or at least a few desks down. As a leader working to make all your team members develop and grow, you need to be careful that you aren't falling into this all-too-human trap, especially if you work in a hybrid environment where some workers are in the office and others aren't.

Proximity/distance bias

Similarity bias draws us to people who are like us, causing us to miss out on new, diverse relationships at work. It can even lead us to hire, promote, or offer more career development to people we can see ourselves in. Not good. We need to go out of our way to feel connected to everyone, not just people like us. So, try to create shared experiences. It can be harder to create shared experiences in a remote environment, which means you need to be intentional about it.

Similarity bias

One trick our minds use to sift through everything thrown at us is to latch onto the first piece of information we get about a particular topic, decision, pattern. When the American workforce went remote in March 2020, it was sudden—and not necessarily smooth. Even though systems have since been implemented to address all these things, lots of people still latch onto that anchor.

Anchoring bias

When we know what to expect, we know how to respond—and our brains like knowing how to respond. That's part of why shifting to remote work can be difficult: we've been working in person for years, decades in some cases, and it's hard for us to think of work in any other setting.<ul><li>﻿Be aware of your preferences toward how you've done things in the past. Ask yourself:</li><li>What's a process that made sense in person but may be holding you back? </li><li>Who on your team would enjoy brainstorming ways to make remote work more fulfilling and productive?</li><li>How can you involve your team in creating new remote traditions?</li></ul>

Status quo bias

This is the mental shortcut that results in us seeking out, preferring, and remembering things in a way that suits what we already believe. The term has been particularly popular over the past several years, in reference to how people choose their news sources.If you or your team don't love remote work, this means you're less likely to spot remote work successes—and more likely to spot shortfalls that you believe arise from your new working environment. We need to get away from this tendency to use remote work as a scapegoat.

50% of a person’s happiness is determined by their genetic makeup, researchers discovered. A new study considers the roles both nature and nurture play in a person’s happiness.

Nature & Nurture

The self-help industry is booming, fuelled by research on positive psychology – the scientific study of what makes people flourish. At the same time, the rates of anxiety, depression and self-harm continue to soar worldwide. So are we doomed to be unhappy, despite these advances in psychology?

Doomed To Be Unhappy?

According to an <a href="http://sonjalyubomirsky.com/wp-content/themes/sonjalyubomirsky/papers/LSS2005.pdf">influential article</a> published in Review of General Psychology in 2005, 50% of people’s happiness is determined by their genes, 10% depends on their circumstances and 40% on “intentional activity” (mainly, whether you’re positive or not). This so-called happiness pie put positive-psychology acolytes in the driving seat, allowing them to decide on their happiness trajectory. (Although, the unspoken message is that if you are unhappy, it’s your own fault.)
