" Idea in Brief Are you an ethical manager? Most would probably say, “Of course!” The truth is, most of us are not. Most of us believe that we’re ethical and unbiased.

But the truth is, we harbor many unconscious—and unethical—biases that derail our decisions and undermine our work as managers.

They can also lead to costly lawsuits. "
