1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,207 A note about bias. 2 00:00:02,207 --> 00:00:07,862 Before closing, I'd like to share a brief reminder about common feedback biases. 3 00:00:07,862 --> 00:00:14,034 Bias is generally unconscious, meaning you have it but don't realize it. 4 00:00:14,034 --> 00:00:20,252 As you give feedback, be careful not to fall into some common feedback bias traps. 5 00:00:20,252 --> 00:00:25,090 For example, did you know that managers tend to give more negative and 6 00:00:25,090 --> 00:00:30,011 fake feedback to women and folks of underrepresented identities, and 7 00:00:30,011 --> 00:00:32,471 you're more likely to give more and 8 00:00:32,471 --> 00:00:36,665 more clear feedback to someone who reminds you of yourself? 9 00:00:36,665 --> 00:00:37,799 Unconscious bias and 10 00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:41,964 the feedback process can limit other people's ability to learn and improve. 11 00:00:41,964 --> 00:00:46,761 Not to mention, coworkers may see this behavior as playing favorites. 12 00:00:46,761 --> 00:00:51,592 The more consistently you follow the three step effective feedback process, 13 00:00:51,592 --> 00:00:54,680 the less bias you're likely to allow to creep in. 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,829 [SOUND] In conclusion, continuous feedback is comfortable feedback. 15 00:01:00,829 --> 00:01:05,791 We encourage giving feedback all the time, in one on one meetings, 16 00:01:05,791 --> 00:01:09,371 randomly, and anytime you see an opportunity. 17 00:01:09,371 --> 00:01:14,058 If we are constantly providing reinforcing and redirecting feedback, 18 00:01:14,058 --> 00:01:18,526 we show folks that it's not a big deal, just part of doing business. 19 00:01:18,526 --> 00:01:20,260 And we set an example so 20 00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:25,110 they will learn to use the model with their peers and partners.
