Checking your emotions and bias
Description
We’re emotional creatures, driven by internal forces that we may not always have full control over. We often overreact or underreact to external circumstances. We misjudge situations based on preconceptions we may not be aware of.
Summary
This doesn’t mean that we should turn off our emotions and entirely ignore their influence. But it’s important to recognize when our emotions and our biases are running the show. At that point it’s useful to take a step back and make certain we aren’t making a decision for the wrong reasons.
