The Leader’s Bias Cheat Sheet

12 cognitive biases that shape how you judge people, situations, and make decisions.

Every leader carries biases that influence who they hire, how they evaluate performance, and which decisions they double down on. Most of these biases operate as thinking shortcuts that feel like good judgment but often aren’t. This two-page reference guide makes them visible. For each bias, you get a clear description of the trap, how to recognise it in yourself, and a concrete move to interrupt it. Print it, pin it to your wall, or share it with your team before your next hiring debrief or strategy meeting. Free download. Two pages. Designed to be used, not just read.
