SPECIAL SEMINAR
Abstract:
Are potential leaders selected objectively or do selectors use decision heuristics to select those who "look" the role? I will answer the question by looking at how physical appearance, ethnicity, age, and sex oftentimes dominate objective data about the person being evaluated. We will discuss the origins and consequences, and how we can begin to eliminate these biases.
