[单选题]We are defined by the decisions we make from the moment we wake up to when we fall asleep. Regardless of how ordinary or unimportant these emotions and decisions may seem, you must learn how to remove any potential unconscious bias from your choices. Thankfully, there are ways to eliminate these biases from your decision-making and action-taking, such as the following five strategies.
41.
Our judgments are often inaccurate because the brain relies on cognitive biases over hard evidence. Cognitive bias is the tendency to make irrational judgments in a consistent pattern. Numerous research has found that these biases force people to make poor and unreasonable decisions. Moreover, our unconscious biases are often so strong that they lead us to act in ways that are inconsistent with reason, as well as our values and beliefs. Awareness is the best way to beat these biases, so pay careful attention to how they influence you. And, you can only achieve that by knowing the different types of cognitive biases that can distort your thinking.

What would happen if you decided to move forward in the opposite direction of what you originally chose? Gather the data you would need to defend this opposite view, and compare it to the data used to support your original decision. Afterward, you’ll want to reevaluate your decision based on the bigger data set. And don’t sweat it if your perspective isn’t complete. At least it’s more balanced.

A while back, The Economist conducted a study that asked subscribers how they felt about the following three plans: $ 59 a year for an online-only subscription; $ 125 a year for print only; $ 125 a year for print and online. About 16 percent chose the first option,which was the online-only subscription. The third choice received the remaining 84 percent. That seems like a no-brainer since you would be getting both the print and online versions for the same price.
But when the publisher removed option B, 68 percent chose the cheapest option and demand for the full package—the sale the publisher most favored—dropped. What did this information show? The statistics demonstrated that irrelevant information—in this case, the obviously terrible option B—can have a huge influence on our decision making.
44.
One of the simplest and most effective ways to remove any bias from your decision-making is to solicit the advice or feedback from others. Ideally,you should turn to those you trust, like a family member, friend, business partner or mentor. These are the people who will offer honest and constructive criticisms pointing out any blind spots while helping you gain fresh points of view.
45.
Take a timeout and reflect on similar past scenarios. How did you make that decision? What obstacles did you have, and how did you overcome them? What was the outcome, and what did you learn? Answering these questions can help guide you in making the right decision. Furthermore,you could also use data to find a cost-effective way to handle customer service inquiries. That data can be used to determine which activities generated the most sales opportunities or help you review your team’s past performance. And, thanks to machine learning, analytics can make smart suggestions on how to schedule important events.

Prevailing wisdom always has us use teamwork as much as possible to face challenges head-on. The theory is that working in teams—especially those with different skillsets and backgrounds—sparks innovation, 1 flexibility,and leads to better outcomes. However, recent research suggests that maximizing teamwork often fails to 2 the results we expect ; in fact, in some cases, it 3 them.
The reality is that productive teamwork and collaboration are hard to 4 . Bringing together people with 5 expertise can potentially stall rather than 6 innovation, especially when 7 to an urgent need. Not to mention the larger, structural 8 that often leave team members jockeying for positions, making power grabs, and withholding information to protect their turf.
This is not to say we should throw teamwork 9 the window entirely. 10 , we believe a change in mindset about how to best 11 it is needed to achieve the flexibility and resilience.
12 maximizing teamwork, research on what distinguishes flexible organizations suggests that we need to rightsize it. This means 13 what form and how much teamwork is needed at each stage of a project to get it done efficiently and effectively. Rightsizing teamwork requires 14 selecting the right people to contribute,at the right time.
15 this approach may 16 seem in conflict with goals of inclusivity, consideration, and respect—when done right, it can improve those things. 17 others when they are needed, 18 by default, is actually more respectful of the many people who are 19 from project overload and burnout. Rightsizing is not about minimizing inclusion. It’s about changing “teamwork” from a buzzword to an 20 practice that creates seamless companywide connections.
