In the last few decades, corporations have taught people that they are not loyal—and employees are returning the favor!

As humans, we are flawed thinkers who easily fall victim to biases and traps. The biases and traps we so easily fall into reshape our thinking in ways that can lead us to make bad decisions[...] Ethical leaders know they are subject to flawed thinking and use an intentional process to overcome biases and traps.

In the adult training literature, they talk about the ‘knowing-doing gap‘: the idea you can teach things, and people will intellectually ‘know’ them… but that doesn’t mean they will do it… that they will put it into practise. Why is it that even techniques and tools with tons of supporting evidence – that we know in our heads would work and help us in our jobs – we still fail to put into practise?
We hope you enjoyed reading this issue of Leadership Insights as much as we did putting it together. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please do write in.
