Unconscious Bias, Ice, and the Corporate Ladder.
Black and other diverse professionals have to get over many more hurdles as compared to others. The hurdle covered today - with host Darryl Mobley - is crippling Unconscious Bias.
This is the 3rd of 28 straight days of episodes on the hurdles some face – that others don’t – on the way up.
Welcome to 90 Seconds with Catapult Leaders.
Why “90 Seconds”? Because it doesn’t take long to get it right.
We begin unconsciously connecting things from the time we’re babies.
Many unconsciously connect one group with being inferior to another.
I refer to that as believing that the “White Man’s Ice Is Colder.”
Ice is ice and cold is cold.
But many believe – unconsciously – that one person is better than another, based on skin color.
Unconscious biases are learned stereotypes that lead to unfair treatment.
Examples of unconscious bias include:
- Hiring based on ‘gut feel’
- Rejecting resumes based on applicants’ names
- Promoting those who look like you, Lack of urgency to address hiring inequities
About 80% of Black managers say that unconscious bias has been an obstacle to their success.
The unconscious bias of decision-makers who think that the “White Man’s Ice is Colder”…
is a big hurdle.
All things equal – the one NOT facing this hurdle will win the race up the corporate ladder.
That’s not meritocracy.
That’s a system that needs to be fixed.
Give your solutions for those facing this hurdle and for the system that creates this environment at CatapultLeaders.com/hurdle.

That’s it. 90 Seconds comes at you fast!
