The Unseen Hand: How Bias Shapes Your Leadership (And What to Do About It)
What if your biggest leadership blind spot… was you?
In this powerful episode of ScaleUP & Grow, host Mary Ricketts dives deep into the hidden world of unconscious bias—not as a buzzword, but as a real, measurable force that shapes how you lead, hire, promote, and build trust.
This isn’t about blame. This is about awareness, ownership, and action.
You’ll discover:
✅ What bias actually is—and where it shows up in your leadership without you realizing
✅ The 5 tell-tale signs you’re not owning your bias (and how to fix it)
✅ How “gut instincts” can quietly derail inclusion, innovation, and trust
✅ Real-life stories, powerful data, and examples from high-performing organizations
✅ Practical self-examination tools to reduce bias and make better leadership decisions
Whether you’re leading a team of five or five thousand, this episode will challenge you to look inward and take your leadership to the next level—with clarity, fairness, and purpose.
💡 Reflection Questions Inside the Episode:
- Are you rewarding familiarity over true talent?
- Do your promotion decisions reflect intention—or comfort?
- Would your team describe your leadership as fair, inclusive, and objective?
📊 Stat Drop:
95% of our decisions are made by our subconscious. If we don’t slow down and examine our patterns, we’re not leading—we’re reacting.
🎯 Call to Action:
Pick one decision-making pattern this week and examine it. Then take one step to interrupt bias in your leadership. Growth starts with ownership.
🔁 If this episode challenges you, share it with a fellow leader.
Let’s normalize growth, self-examination, and leading with impact.
