Understanding Decision-Making Biases

You think you make logical decisions, but your brain is full of glitches that managers fall

for all the time. It’s called bias. Ever notice how you only search for info that proves

you're right? That's confirmation bias. Or how you get stuck on the first number

you hear in a negotiation? That's the anchoring effect. And when you succeed, it's all you,

but when you fail, it's someone else's fault? That's self-serving bias.

These aren't just bad habits; they're mental shortcuts. Knowing they exist is the first step

to actually making a smart choice.
