When we head into a negotiation — whether we're asking for a raise or trying to get our spouse to do the dishes — our focus is usually on getting the other person to agree to our preferred outcome.  What we don't focus on are our own biases and blind spots. Behavioral scientist Max Bazerman studies the theory and practice of negotiation, and he says that paying attention to these biases can help us to craft better deals.Do you have a follow-up question after listening to this episode?

Ann Tenbrunsel is a business ethics professor at the University of Notre Dame. Her research examines why employees, leaders and students behave unethically, despite their best intentions to behave ethically. Ann is the author, co-author, or co-editor of six books on this topic—including Blind Spots (with Max Bazerman), Behavioral Ethics (with David De Cremer), Codes of Conduct and (with David Messick)—and she has also published 50 research articles and chapters. Her research has been covered in the New York Times, NBC, ABC, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, US News and World Report, the Associated Press, The Guardian, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Huffington Post, Washington Post, NPR, and in blogs for Psychology Today and Freakonomics. Ann was also my advisor when I was a postdoc at Notre Dame, and she is, in a word, awesome. In this episode we discuss the following: No one is immune from behaving unethically. And sadly, over and again we tend to overrate our own ethics. When facing an ethical dilemma, we predict we'll behave ethically, and after making our decision we recollect that we've behaved ethically. But at the time of decision, we all too often feel unexpected pressure, make some excuse, adopt some rationalization, and behave unethically. We're in a constant battle with our want self and our should self. And all too often we give into our wants, rather than standing by our shoulds. To improve our ethics, we need good sleep, continued education, and practice. Just as we wouldn't expect to perform well in a meeting without preparing, we shouldn't expect to perform well in an ethical dilemma if we haven't prepared. Study ethics. Take a class, read Ann's book, learn about the ways that power, pressure, and circumstances can lead us to unethical behavior. And then check your ethics with other people, conduct a pre-mortem, and let your “should-self” win.

What if you could make a big impact by making small adjustments that lead people to make better decisions, which created better outcomes? In this episode, I speak with decision-making and leadership expert Don Moore, Professor and Associate Dean at the Haas School of Business, about his latest book, Decision Leadership: Empowering Others to Make Better Choices. Don is on a mission to expand how we think of leadership. We discuss when to deliberate vs rely on intuition, how to get quality advice from experts, and ways to create more ethical organizations. It's not all happy talk: He lays the smack down on Malcolm Gladwell and cautions against the downsides that his field may unwittingly produce.Behavioral economics 101: major advancements since the field emerged in the 1990sWhy he wrote his new book3 “non-traditional acts” that Don argues should be included in the field of leadershipHow his message has been received by leadership scholarsThe upside – and risks -- of simple, cheap behavioral science interventions (example of overstated results with “belongingness interventions”)Skeptical? Run more experiments (and how to do them properly)!Be skeptical of grandiose claims – and make bets through “contingent contracts”The smackdown-breakdown on the usefulness of intuition, popularized in Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller, Blink.The value of deliberationThe strengths of algorithmic models – and how are they trainedMobs vs Crowds: How to get advice from others, without amplifying overestimationThe role leaders play setting – and designing -- the ethical toneDon's next inspiring challenge: “You can't pick the moment when greatness calls” BIO AND LINKS: Don Moore is Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and holds the Lorraine Tyson Mitchell Chair in Leadership at the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley. He received his bachelor's degree in Psychology from Carleton College and his Ph.D. in Organization Behavior from Northwestern University. His research interests include overconfidence, including when people think they are better than they actually are, when people think they are better than others, and when people are too sure they know the truth. His research has appeared in popular press outlets and academic journals, from Psychological Review to Harvard Business Review. Don is the author, with Max Bazerman, of Decision Leadership and the widely used textbook, Judgement in Managerial Decision Making. He teaches popular classes on managing organizations, negotiation, and decision making. He is only occasionally overconfident. Previous episode on 97% Effective, where Don and I discuss his Book, Perfectly Confident: https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/06780ce7-2b31-422f-b5cf-4879c49aa4a5/stream.mp3Decision Leadership, the Book: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300259698/decision-leadership/Haas Faculty Profile: https://haas.berkeley.edu/faculty/moore-don/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-moore-01725b/LearnMoore at the Moore Accuracy Lab at Berkeley Haas: http://learnmoore.org/about.html his self-aggrandizing autobiographical sketch)Hass Berkeley Executive Education programs: https://executive.berkeley.eduTop behavioral science books that have shaped the field: Thinking Fast and Slow (Kahneman); Predictably Irrational (Ariely); Decisive (Health & Health); Nudge (Thaler and Sunstein); Misbehaving (Thaler).Colin Kaepernick acts of protest – or leadership? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBdoDOXMWkgBruce Friedrich shifts from activism to setting up the Good Food Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxXUWDt0MqwJessie Wisdom, Co-founder of Humu, on interventions: https://www.humu.com/team/jessie-wisdom“Behavioral Science BS” (Interview with Jason Hreha on 97% Effective: https://redcircle.com/shows/97-effective/ep/0310f040-0b91-4dce-901a-0c39433efb53Jason Hreha, applied behavioral scientist: https://www.thebehavioralscientist.com/aboutOverblown results?

Mike studies a variety of topics of high relevance to the underlying economic organization of the online sector, such as the design of online platforms, applied causal inference and data science. More to the point, his research helps organizations consume data or all types and produce insights that help them become more informed and about managerial obstacles and solutions. He is also the coauthor of "The Power of Experiments: Decision-Making in a Data Driven World" with Max Bazerman. This is part of my longer series on what I'm calling "economists in tech", which includes my interviews with:* Susan Athey (first chief economist at Microsoft, John Bates Clark award winner, and much more)* Michael Schwarz (current Microsoft chief economist), * John List (former chief economists at Uber and Lyft), * Chris Nosko (VP Head of Science and Analytics at Uber), * Kyle Kretschman (Head of Economics at Spotify),* Ronnie Kohavi (computer scientist with a long career in tech spanning decades, early promoter of A/B testing)This series is, I hope, particularly relevant to those PhD economists and adjacent workers, like data scientists and machine learners, within tech, but also those outside of tech wanting to learn more about the long story of the demand for and supply of PhD economists in tech — which I consider to be the result of a very disruptive, particularly important, technological shift that increased the value of the work that PhD economists do and can do, causing a long march of PhD economists into industry (which is likely to continue growing for a while). Which is itself part of my long term project to collect interviews that when pieced together in the longrun help tell at least a small sliver of the oral history of the last 50 years of economists across many disciplines, many parts of the world, many types of work, many departments, and beneath many influential watershed people and movements that I consider to be particularly interesting (to me). But in many ways, the oral history element, while meaningful to me, is also a convenient hook for me to listen to and help broadcast the personal stories of real people. Real people matter, and their stories matter, not because of how they connect to some larger thing, but as people in and of themselves. And as I say often at the start of each podcast, I am firmly in the camp of those who believe that we navigate our own historical lives through stories, and for many of us, that includes the personal stories of others. These stories, as I call them, function as models that help us understand ourselves as well as compasses as we try to plot out where we are in our journeys, and inform our decision making under uncertainty as we try to navigate our lives in a way that is consistent with our values and help us find our place in society. So thanks for tuning in! I hope you find this interview with Mike illuminating. Scott's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

We find it easy to condemn wrongdoers, after they've been called out. But why do we often let unethical behavior occur around us, and not speak out? If we take a step back from the idea of there being one “bad apple”, we realize that with any wrongdoing, there is a collection of people who have been complicit in the behavior. Why is there so much fear about speaking up? “We've created too much fear in speaking up, when in fact, there's so much value in avoiding harm in that process.“ ~ Max Bazerman Our fascinating conversation with Max Bazerman aligns with the publication of his excellent new book, “Complicit: How We Enable the Unethical and How to Stop”. Our discussion is rich with insight, in particular we delve into the reason that we hold people, including ourselves, more responsible for errors of commission than omission. So how can we avoid errors of omission? Max Bazerman is a world famous behavioral scientist. He is the Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and the Co-Director of the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School. He is the author, co-author, or co-editor of twenty books and over 200 research articles and chapters. His awards include an honorary doctorate from the University of London and both the Distinguished Educator Award and the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Academy of Management.  Over the years, Max has brought focus to the areas of decision making and ethics.

It is easy to condemn obvious wrongdoers such as Elizabeth Holmes, Adam Neumann, Harvey Weinstein, and the Sackler family. But we rarely think about the many people who supported their unethical or criminal behavior. In each case there was a supporting cast of complicitors: business partners, employees, investors, news organizations, and others. And, whether we're aware of it or not, almost all of us have been complicit in the unethical behavior of others. In Complicit: How We Enable the Unethical and How to Stop (Princeton UP, 2022), Harvard Business School professor Max Bazerman confronts our complicity head-on and offers strategies for recognizing and avoiding the psychological and other traps that lead us to ignore, condone, or actively support wrongdoing in our businesses, organizations, communities, politics, and more. Complicit tells compelling stories of those who enabled the Theranos and WeWork scandals, the opioid crisis, the sexual abuse that led to the #MeToo movement, and the January 6th U.S. Capitol attack. The book describes seven different behavioral profiles that can lead to complicity in wrongdoing, ranging from true partners to those who unknowingly benefit from systemic privilege, including white privilege, and it tells the story of Bazerman's own brushes with complicity. Complicit also offers concrete and detailed solutions, describing how individuals, leaders, and organizations can more effectively prevent complicity. By challenging the notion that a few bad apples are responsible for society's ills, Complicit implicates us all--and offers a path to creating a more ethical world. Learn more about your ad choices.

Learning ALL the parts of our country's history can be very uncomfortable. Not just in the US, but around the world, there are usually very dark parts of our past that many of us would rather brush over because it doesn't marry up with the sterilized version of what we were taught when we were younger.   While many of us are willing to take the next step, to unlearn our history and dismantle the unjust systems that our forebears built, few of us actually know how to go about it effectively. Our wonderful guest on this episode, Dolly Chugh admits to her own story of how she inadvertently taught her kids a polished version of history. And in her own personal reckoning around this experience, wrote the book that she found herself needing to read. And we are delighted to be talking with her about “A More Just Future: Psychological Tools for Reckoning with Our Past and Driving Social Change” because it is now a valuable tool for all of us.   Dolly Chugh is a Harvard educated, award-winning social psychologist at the NYU Stern School of Business, where she is an expert researcher in the psychology of good people. We've previously had Dolly on the show but we are thrilled to welcome her back to discuss her brand new book.   Topics (2:07) How Little House On The Prairie led Dolly to write A More Just Future. (9:24) Behavioral History - the new way of looking at the past? (11:10) Why do we find it so difficult to talk about the dark parts of our history? (14:08) How “dressing for the weather” can help us deal with our emotional responses. (17:56) What other countries can teach the US about our response to history.. (19:37) How a Paradox Mindset can help us sit with uncomfortable truths. (23:28) How does Dolly feel about America after writing the book? (26:12) How do we move forward to a more just future? (29:28) Unlearning our past is simple but not easy. (31:49) Why is George Takei a gritty patriot? (37:51) What is belief grief? (39:42) How psychological distance creates a “long time ago illusion”. (41:37) Using music to anchor us in time. (44:52) What question Dolly would ask Max Bazerman?  (47:54) Grooving Session with Tim and Kurt discussing A More Just Future.   If you are a regular listener to Behavioral Grooves, please consider donating to our work through Patreon.

How Good People Fight Bias | Dolly Chugh [Republish]

Behavioral Grooves Podcast

Psychology and neuroscience have proven that our minds do things on autopilot. These shortcuts (or heuristics) are laden with unconscious biases, which are juxtaposed to our self identity as a “good” person; one that isn't racist, sexist or homophobic. Dolly Chugh believes we should set a higher standard for ourselves by being good-ish people. By implementing a Growth Mindset, a concept pioneered by Carol Dweck, we don't hang on too tightly to our identity. We learn to change, and to be taught and to grow.   Dolly Chugh is an award-winning associate professor and social psychologist at the Stern School of Business at New York University. Her research focuses on the “psychology of good people”. How and why most of us, however well-intended, are still prone to race and gender bias, as well as what she calls “bounded ethicality.”     Kurt and Tim sat down with Dolly for this episode in Spring 2021 to talk about the concept of “good-ish” which is a central theme to her book The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias. In subsequent episodes we have referenced Dolly's interview and work many times, so we wanted to republish her episode so you can enjoy listening to her insights again.   In our conversation with Dolly we learn about her beautiful analogy of headwinds and tailwinds that describe the invisible biases and systemic issues that many people in our world face. She explains the “Hmmm Framework” that she came up with after the January 6th Attack on the Capitol. And, of course, we discuss music and how Dolly incorporates it into her teaching and her writing.   In our focused Grooving Session, Tim and Kurt extract the meaningful ways that we can apply Dolly's work into our everyday lives. We summarize the key parts of our interview with her and how we can each challenge ourselves to find our good-ish groove!   What You Will Learn from Dolly Chugh  (2:41) Speed round questions (4:12) What is the difference between good and good-ish?  (9:09) Why is a growth mindset so difficult? (12:28) Why we should integrate psychology more into our educational and political systems (15:48) How systemic racism and unconscious bias are related (29:12) Hmmm Framework and thought experiments (34:04) How do we discover our own blind spots? (38:58) How Dolly incorporates music into her teaching and writing (43:21) Applications from our interview with Dolly in our Grooving Session: Step back and be intentional, use “when...then…” statements.

Have you logged into Facebook recently? Searched for something on Google? Chosen a movie on Netflix? If so, you've probably been an unwitting participant in a variety of experiments—also known as randomized controlled trials—designed to test the impact of different online experiences. Once an esoteric tool for academic research, the randomized controlled trial has gone mainstream. No tech company worth its salt (or its share price) would dare make major changes to its platform without first running experiments to understand how they would influence user behavior. In The Power of Experiments: Decision Making in a Data-Driven World (MIT Press, 2021), Michael Luca and Max Bazerman explain the importance of experiments for decision-making in a data-driven world. Luca and Bazerman describe the central role experiments play in the tech sector, drawing lessons and best practices from the experiences of such companies as StubHub, Alibaba, and Uber. Successful experiments can save companies money—eBay, for example, discovered how to cut $50 million from its yearly advertising budget—or bring to light something previously ignored, as when Airbnb was forced to confront rampant discrimination by its hosts. Moving beyond tech, Luca and Bazerman consider experimenting for the social good—different ways that governments are using experiments to influence or “nudge” behavior ranging from voter apathy to school absenteeism. Experiments, they argue, are part of any leader's toolkit. In this show, Peter Lorentzen interviews economist Michael Luca about this new book on how organizations—including Google, StubHub, Airbnb, and Facebook—learn from experiments in a data-driven world. Michael Luca, a professor of business administration at Harvard University, is an expert on the design of online platforms and the use of data to inform managerial and policy decision-making. Host Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of San Francisco, where he leads a new digital economy-focused Master's program in Applied Economics.

Ich, Andi Schrader, weiss, dass es durchaus schwierig sein kann, in dem stetig wachsenden Angebot an Literatur zum Thema Verhandlungsführung noch durchzublicken. Außerdem ist selber lesen ja gerade erst wieder dabei zu trenden. Blinkist und getabstract sei dank. Diese nutze ich nämlich, um mir einen Vorgeschmack zu verschaffen, was mich in den Büchern meiner Wahl erwarten könnte. Gefällt mir, was ich dort lese, höre ich mir das Hörbuch auf Audible oder Spotify an. Habe ich das Gefühl, dass ich mehrere Stellen wiederholen sollte, besorge ich mir das Buch und arbeite es durch. Diese Vorgehensweise darf gerne kopiert werden.  Und was machst Du, wenn Du merkst, dass da bei Dir noch Luft nach oben ist – Du holst Dir wen dazu, der Ahnung hat. Ich suche mir dann meisten gerne Menschen, die zum einen Ahnung haben, und zum anderen auch nicht davor zurückschrecken ein wenig mit mir zu diskutieren. Mr. Evidenzbasiert – Andreas Winheller, das wandelnde Verhandlungs-Wikipedia, wie ich ihn gerne nenne – schreckt definitiv nicht davor zurück. Und das ist einer der Gründe, weshalb er auch diesmal wieder mit von der Partie ist. „Ein Genie ist eine Person mit überragender schöpferischer Geisteskraft“ – so definiert Wikipedia dieses Wort, das 50% des heutigen Buchtitels ausmacht.   Max Bazerman und Deepak Malhotra schafften 2007 ein Werk, welches, ebenso wie die beiden Autoren, in meinen Augen zur Champions Leauge der Verhandlungsführung zählt. Sie paaren wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse mit realen Erfahrungswerten. Aus dem Ergebnis haben Sie dieses Buch abgeleitet, was Dir sehr viele hilfreiche Dinge vermittelt, durch die Du besser verhandeln kannst. Ob Du bereits ein Negotation Genius bist oder was Dir noch fehlt, damit Du eins werden kannst, dass hörst Du jetzt bei meiner Buchbesprechung mit Andreas Winheller.     Links: Linkedin Andi Schrader Homepage Andi Schrader Linkedin Andreas Winheller Homepage Andreas Winheller Linkedin Artikel Michael Wheeler / Deepak Malhotra Negotiation Genius bei Amazon (KEIN Affiliate

NUGGET CONTEXT Katy speaks about one of the attributes of Dr Max Bazerman, her advisor (who has a track record of having several of his students in reputed colleges around the world) when she was a PhD student. She speaks about how he would behave when his students would often face a bump or deal with a rejection and come to him for advise. Katy says that rather than focusing on critiquing the work content, he would focus on encouraging the student, highly counterintuitive for a lot of us. GUEST Katy Milkman is the James G. Dinan Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and holds a secondary appointment at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine. Her research explores ways that insights from economics and psychology can be harnessed to change consequential behaviors for good, such as savings, exercise, vaccination take-up and discrimination. She has also recently authored the Book - How to Change - The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be.  In 2018, she began hosting Charles Schwab's popular podcast “Choiceology with Katy Milkman”, which explores key lessons from behavioral economics about decision making.  Published in September 2021.  HOST Deepak is a Leadership Advisor and an Executive Coach. He works with leaders to improve their effectiveness and in helping them make better decisions specifically around organizational and career transitions. He currently runs Transition Insight (www.transitioninsight.com) and works with leaders to handle phases of transition thoughtfully. He has worked as an Operations Consultant with KPMG in UK, Strategy Consultant with McKinsey in the US and as a Leadership Consultant with EgonZehnder (a Swiss Leadership Advisory firm) where he helped companies recruit CEOs, CXOs and Board Members and worked on Leadership Development.

In a world of hundreds of decisions every day, how do you reconcile your ethics and biases? Max Bazerman, award-winning author, distinguished educator, and Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, discusses his book, Better, Not Perfect. He shares how to become aware, honest, efficient, and smart about the decisions we make while not seeking the unrealistic standard of perfection. The framework he made outlines how to reach sustainability and maximum goodness. During this conversation, he and host Greg La Blanc discuss Bazerman's take on ethical and moral decision-making and corruption. He also talked about how rationality obstructs us from having a utilitarian point of view.Do not miss his discussion on loyalty and how it prevents us from doing good. Finally, take notes as he discusses how universities create value in shaping these decision-making skills.Episode Quotes:Thoughts on whether you can guide and change a person's decision-making processWe've done an amazing job of identifying when people make mistakes, the systematic and predictable ways we'll make mistakes. But we've made very little in terms of fixing human intuition… The core idea is that we make most of our decisions intuitively, deliberately, meaning thinking more systematically.It means asking smart friends. It means crowdsourcing. It means using artificial intelligence. So, we have lots of ways of endangering our more deliberate thought processes. And when we do, we are less f****d. So, we both have people out of system one to system two, to an individual level and at a more systemic level as ways to improve our decision-making —even if we can't improve our underlying intuition.In what ways do you make emphatic decisions at the same time have a larger impact? What I want to do is provide a very, very different model. So, how do you create the balance? I don't know, I think there's no one simple answer to that. But, here are just my simple predictions. My guess is, if you could audit your lines and identify various weights —where you sacrificed both your time and your money. You could create more good. That seems like a really good start.Thoughts on corruption on university admissions and people being willfully blindI think that most of us, we're not going to perpetuate the next newspaper-worthy scandal, but we may well be around and see. And too often, we do too little to stop it. So, view it as my obligation and my moral obligation as a professor to speak up against the policy of legacy admissions in giving favorites — the children of alumni, of donors, of faculty. I think giving special consideration to people who are already part of our fairly small moral tribe means that we ended up discriminating against lots of other people who aren't in that circle.Why do people choose not to act for the greater good? Are they lacking empathy or understanding of their utility?There was a movement that argues that once you want to give your available dollars locally, or once you want to give it to your group —your own religious group ﹘ probably limited how effective you can be in terms of your charitable dollars. Since in many cases, your charitable dollars can have a much greater impact in some organization that's more distant from you. So, as soon as we had a trial we're putting up barriers, How much good can we do as soon as we're selfish? We're putting up a barrier to doing as much good as we can do as soon we're limiting how much good we can do.Show LinksGuest ProfileHarvard University ProfileAwards, Honors and DistinctionsMax Bazerman on Twitter His WorkBetter, Not Perfect: A Realist's Guide to Maximum Sustainable Goodness The Power of Experiments: Decision Making in a Data-Driven WorldBlind Spots: Why We Fail to Do What's Right and What to Do About ItSocial Decision Making: Social Dilemmas, Social Values, and Ethical JudgmentsNegotiation Genius: How to Overcome Obstacles and Achieve Brilliant Results at the Bargaining Table and BeyondPredictable Surprises: The Disasters You Should Have Seen Coming, and How to Prevent Them (Leadership for the Common Good)Negotiating RationallySmart Money Decisions: Why You Do What You Do with Money (and How to Change for the Better)Environment, Ethics, & Behavior: The Psychology of Environmental Valuation and DegradationJudgment in Managerial Decision Making

Katy Milkman: How to Make Healthy Habits that Actually Last [INTERVIEW]

Behavioral Grooves Podcast

We all appreciate a fresh start. Time to start again. A clean slate. Maybe we want to go to the gym more often, eat more vegetables, or read more books. But why do we often fail to maintain our new healthy habits? Our guest today, Katy Milkman PhD, believes that we often focus too much on the final outcome, rather than the steps that will get us there. Thinking about what is going to trigger our actions and what barriers are going to get in the way of our new behavior, are much more effective techniques than aiming for the finishing line. Katy Milkman is the James G. Dinan Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and holds a secondary appointment at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine. Her research explores ways that insights from economics and psychology can be harnessed to change consequential behaviors for good. She is no stranger to podcasts, as host of the Charles Schwab podcast Choiceology with Katy Milkman, she explores key lessons from behavioral economics about decision making. More recently, Katy has published a new book, which is already a best-selling hit: How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be https://amzn.to/3wTSxH7. We are thrilled to delve into some of the groundbreaking research behind the book, as well as Katy's motivation for writing. In our conversation, we talk about a project she started with Angela Duckworth PhD, The Behavior Change for Good initiative that uses large scale or “Mega” experiments to explore many different behavior change ideas with over 150 of the top researchers in the world.   Katy attributes a lot of her career success to her PhD mentor, Max Bazerman, one of our favorite guests on Behavioral Grooves (Episode 196: https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/living-happier-by-making-the-world-better-with-max-bazerman/). We discuss the magic “algorithm” that Max uses to get the best out of his students and how we can all learn from these mentoring steps. Our conversation also touches on the more topical application of behavioral science; encouraging vaccination uptake. Katy's early response to the COVID-19 pandemic was to start researching different message reminders sent to patients. We talk about how the endowment effect plays an important role in effective vaccination messaging. Next, you can listen to our follow-up Grooving Session (in separate episode #233) where Kurt and Tim do a deep dive discussion into Katy's interview and leave you with some actionable insight on how to change your habits.

Dolly Chugh is an award-winning associate professor and social psychologist at the Stern School of Business at New York University. Her research focuses on the “psychology of good people”. How and why most of us, however well-intended, are still prone to race and gender bias, as well as what she calls “bounded ethicality.”   Dolly sits down with Kurt and Tim on this episode, to talk about the concept of “good-ish” which is a central theme to her book The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias https://amzn.to/35tGwMe. Psychology and neuroscience have proven that our minds do things on autopilot. These shortcuts (or heuristics) are laden with unconscious biases, which are juxtaposed to our self identity as a “good” person; one that isn't racist, sexist or homophobic. Dolly believes we should set a higher standard for ourselves by being good-ish people. By implementing a Growth Mindset, a concept pioneered by Carol Dweck, we don't hang on too tightly to our identity. We learn to change, and to be taught and to grow. In our conversation with Dolly we learn about her beautiful analogy of headwinds and tailwinds that describe the invisible biases and systemic issues that many people in our world face. She explains the “Hmmm Framework” that she came up with after the January 6th Attack on the Capitol. And, of course, we discuss music and how Dolly incorporates it into her teaching and her writing. In our focused Grooving Session, Tim and Kurt extract the meaningful ways that we can apply Dolly's work into our everyday lives. We summarize the key parts of our interview with her and how we can each challenge ourselves to find our good-ish groove! What You Will Learn from Dolly Chugh  (2:41) Speed round questions (4:12) What is the difference between good and good-ish?  (9:09) Why is a growth mindset so difficult? (12:28) Why we should integrate psychology more into our educational and political systems (15:48) How systemic racism and unconscious bias are related (29:12) Hmmm Framework and thought experiments (34:04) How do we discover our own blind spots? (38:58) How Dolly incorporates music into her teaching and writing (43:21) Applications from our interview with Dolly in our Grooving Session: Step back and be intentional, use “when...then…” statements. Don't hold on so tightly to our identity and the status quo. Thought experiments to unveil our own ignorance.  The Harvard Implicit Association Test (IAT). Self audit - look at our library, our magazines, our TV shows, what we talk about with friends. How are we showing up in the world? Are we being intentional with where we put our effort? © 2021 Behavioral Grooves Links Dolly Chugh: http://www.dollychugh.com/about-dolly  Dolly Chugh, The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias https://amzn.to/35tGwMe  Carol Dweck, Mindset, The New Psychology of Success https://amzn.to/3wDv10I  Episode 196: Living Happier By Making the World Better with Max Bazerman https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/living-happier-by-making-the-world-better-with-max-bazerman/ Mahzarin Banaji https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/mahzarin-r-banaji  Molly Kern https://www.molly-kern.com/  Happy Days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee0gziqT2Yk&ab_channel=ChiefScheiderChiefScheider  Grey's Anatomy https://youtu.be/dSGLObjyFvA  Steve Martin and Nuala Walsh, Episode 209: GAABS and Improving the Future for Every Applied Behavioral Scientist https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/improving-the-future-for-every-applied-behavioral-scientist/ Katy Milkman, How to Change https://amzn.to/3wDZHzc  Confronting the legacy of housing discrimination https://www.cbs.com/shows/cbs_this_morning/video/vLnaRgBIed_ph_NxZa2ZaivfdC_FeD1f/white-americans-confront-legacy-of-housing-discrimination/  Harvard Implicit Association Test https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/  Alec Lacamoire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Lacamoire  Lake Wobegon Effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Wobegon  Episode 214: Observing the Non-Obvious: How to Spot Trends Around You with Rohit Bhargava https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/the-non-obvious-rohit-bhargava/ Musical Links Hamilton “Alexander Hamilton” https://youtu.be/VhinPd5RRJw  In the Heights “Blackout” https://youtu.be/T0V2cCjf1Tk  Something Rotten! “A Musical” https://youtu.be/1KFNcy9VjQI  Bruno Mars “The Lazy Song” https://youtu.be/fLexgOxsZu0  38 Special “Hold On Loosely” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJtf7R_oVaw  Buffalo Springfield “For What It's Worth” https://youtu.be/80_39eAx3z8

Max Bazerman is the Jesse Isidor Strauss Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and is the author of “Better, Not Perfect.” It is the latest in a string of 21 books Max has authored and stands on the platform of hundreds of peer-reviewed papers on decision-making, negotiations, and ethics. Max began by discussing the Myth of the Fixed Pie problem, which is quite common in negotiations. The Myth of the Fixed Pie indicates that we tend to rely on the way a problem is initially framed rather than thinking beyond it. We also talked about the importance of using our time wisely by being conscious of the things and experiences we focus on. Max’s worldview seems to be stitched together with the thread of human kindness. We found him, and our conversation with him, to be incredibly inspiring. Even though we caught up with Max early in the Fall, we felt so much joy and optimism in our conversation, that we decided to conclude 2020 with Max’s take on how much better humanity – not just everyone, but you and I individually, too – can be, if we just pay attention to our decisions We hope you enjoy our conversation with Max and if you liked it, please give us a quick rating or a review.

The best leaders say no, right? That's what we are going to talk about in episode 4 of 11 in this mini-series discussing the top 11 traits of amazing leaders. Remember, throughout this series you are to be looking at your mentors, the leaders you have worked with, etc. and asking yourself: Do I see these traits in them? You see, the best leaders do indeed say no. They understand something super important about their time that not a lot of people actually understand or apply. I was reading an article in the Harvard Business Review the other day by Max Bazerman called: A New Model for Ethical Leadership. And of course when you hear "ethical leadership" you kind of zone out. But hang in there with me for a second. You see, in all of this information (and it was a great article by the way) he mentioned a female professor who constantly received an inbox full of requests for her to complete tasks that were of no benefit to her, but of extreme benefit to the requestor. She in turn got with several other female colleagues and they did some research on how many requests like this each of them received. Ultimately what they discovered and shared was this: you can consider a request for your time as a request for a limited resource. The best leaders know this. They know that time is just like money (actually more valuable but we will get to that in a future episode). You aren't going to take your entire business budget and blow it on a girls only weekend trip are you? No, because you know that your working capital in your business is critical to your business success. Money or cash is a limited resource and we treat it as such. But can you say you treat your time in the same capacity? Do you overcommit to work? Do you take on too many projects or try to do it all? That's not treating time as a limited resource. Do you clean your house, mow your grass, sit by the pool to watch the kids swim, go watch one of your children play sports, or handle a client phone call your direct report simply can't handle? While all of those things need to get done, you shouldn't be the one saying yes to all of them. The kids in the pool, the ballgame, and the bath are all yeses. The cleaning and mowing are tasks you can delegate or hire someone to do. Last but not least, the call to the client should be something your direct report does, if they can't, why do you need them? Hire someone who can do their job. There are things in your business and your life that only you can do. Focus and allocate your time like the limited resource that it is. When you say no, then you can start saying yes to the right things. So again, do you see this trait in the influential leaders around you? Do you exhibit this trait? How do you start saying no so you can say yes? Be Legendary!

Max shares how research on decision making can help give better output on philanthropy, why we need to make wise trade-offs to decrease waste and how we can all be a part of disrupting corruption. The key is our moral obligation to notice and not close our eyes when we see signs of corruption in our organizations, industries or communities. Max drives the message home with stories from the pharmaceutical and auditing industries, as well as companies like Amazon, Theranos and Enron. Max is a frequent Harvard Business Review contributor and has authored a number of books including The Power of Experiments (with Michael Luca), The Power of Noticing, Judgment in Managerial Decision Making (with Don Moore), and Blind Spots (with Ann Tenbrunsel).

For years, people had warned that New Orleans was vulnerable - but when a hurricane came close to destroying the city, the reaction was muted. Some people took the near miss as a warning - others, as confirmation that there was nothing to worry about. So why do we struggle to prepare for disasters? And why don't we draw the obvious lessons from clear warnings?

Have you ever bid in a competitive auction—say, on eBay—and won the item, only to see a similar item for sale elsewhere at a lower price? If so, you may have fallen prey to the winner’s curse.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at bias that can lead people to overpay in auctions and other types of negotiations.We begin with the story of Havre de Grace. This prize filly had an exceptionally successful career as a racehorse before being auctioned as a broodmare. Expectations were high for the sale because Havre de Grace had such a strong thoroughbred pedigree. But the way the auction proceeded surprised everyone in the room.Glenye Cain Oakford was at the Fasig-Tipton November Mixed Sale and paints a vivid picture of a dramatic bidding process. She is an award-winning journalist, writer, and videographer based in Lexington, Kentucky. She was the senior bloodstock correspondent at the Daily Racing Form at the time of the auctionSpecial thanks to Fasig-Tipton for use of the audio clips from the Havre de Grace auction.Max Bazerman has contributed important research to the study of the winner’s curse. He joins Katy to discuss the ways in which this phenomenon can affect purchasing decisions around everything from jewelry to oil leases—and how the bias can diminish your ability to negotiate successfully. Max Bazerman is the Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business at the Harvard Business School and the Harvard Kennedy School and the author of many books, including the upcoming book Better, Not Perfect: The Realist’s Guide to Maximum Sustainable Goodness, which will be released later this year by Harper Collins. Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

The interview kicks off with Shaul outlining how the EU Anti-corruption report served as a motivation Shaul to do corruption research and why psychologists have only more recently started to get interested in corruption. To give listeners an idea how behavioral scientists seek to understand corruption and unethical behavior more broadly, Shaul and Nils discuss behavioral ethics, an interdisciplinary approach to study when and how people break ethical rules from a descriptive perspective: Hence, instead of telling people what they should behavioral ethics observe what they actually do. Shaul describes his personal inspiration to join the field (e.g. other researchers like Max Bazerman, https://tinyurl.com/y5oyqa3g ) and the methods he helped to develop (see for more info here: https://tinyurl.com/y49crb3j). The two also discuss when children develop the ability to cheat studied by researchers such as Marile Claire Vileval, https://tinyurl.com/y6pwzbh8). For all of those who want to get an overview of some of the insights gained we recommend this great website www.preferencesfortruthtelling.com. In the second part, Shaul and Nils discuss the shift from an individual perspective – studying people who make ethical decisions by themselves – to a more social perspective where people make ethical decisions together. They cover, how others can influence people’s own willingness to break ethical rules by being bad role models – as corruption corrupts (https://tinyurl.com/yy9blgwr, see also https://tinyurl.com/y49guetf). Others can also play a role as a victim. Shaul mentions a recent meta-analysis that showed how people are more readily willing to cheat when the victim is abstract (e.g. the society) compared to when it is concrete (e.g. another person; https://tinyurl.com/y2df4lxu). Shaul describes his work on the collaborative roots of corruption and whether people’s inclination to cooperate or to be honest prevails (https://tinyurl.com/y2df4lxu) and how people might at times engage in “ethical free-riding” (https://tinyurl.com/y367254q).

If you’ve ever watched a TV crime drama, you’ve probably heard that eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable. A person commits a crime literally right in front of someone, but the witness can’t identify key characteristics of the perpetrator—or worse, gets the details wrong and implicates an innocent person. Why does this happen? In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at the limitations of attention and perception. The episode begins with the description of a surprising experiment involving two teams passing basketballs. You can try the experiment here, even if you’ve already listened to the episode. Katy follows with the story of one of the most famous marketing blunders of all time: the introduction of New Coke by the Coca Cola Company. Mark Pendergrast, author of For God, Country & Coca Cola, recounts the history of the brand and takes you inside the company to explain how their executives came to a disastrous decision. Robert Teszka then demonstrates how magicians harness the limitations of an audience’s attention in order to surprise and entertain. Next, we hear from Dolly Chugh of New York University’s Stern School of Business and Max Bazerman of the Harvard Business School. They explain how this tendency to miss important information is systematic and predictable, and how it can negatively affect decisions in business and life. Dolly Chugh is the author of The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias. Max Bazerman is the author of The Power of Noticing: What the Best Leaders See.

Episode 36: Part 2 - Procrastination: Time and tide waits for no one Music: “Just A Blip” by Andy G. CohenFrom the Free Music ArchiveReleased under a Creative Commons Attribution International License https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-procrastination-is-good-for-you-2102008 - Life seems to happen at warp speed. But, decisions, says Frank Partnoy, should not. In his new book, Wait: The Art and Science of Delay, Partnoy claims that when faced with a decision, we should assess how long we have to make it, and then wait until the last possible moment to do so. Should we take his advice on how to “manage delay,” we will live happier lives.  Historically, for human beings, procrastination has not been regarded as a bad thing. The Greeks and Romans generally regarded procrastination very highly. The wisest leaders embraced procrastination and would basically sit around and think and not do anything unless they absolutely had to. "Neither a wise nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him." – Dwight D. Eisenhower - The idea that procrastination is bad really started in the Puritanical era with Jonathan Edwards’s sermon against procrastination and then the American embrace of “a stitch in time saves nine,” and this sort of work ethic that required immediate and diligent action. If you look at recent studies, managing delay is an important tool for human beings. People are more successful and happier when they manage delay. Procrastination is just a universal state of being for humans. We will always have more things to do than we can possibly do, so we will always be imposing some sort of unwarranted delay on some tasks. The question is not whether we are procrastinating, it is whether we are procrastinating well. - Some scientists have argued that there are two kinds of procrastination: active procrastination and passive procrastination. Active procrastination means you realize that you are unduly delaying mowing the lawn or cleaning your closet, but you are doing something that is more valuable instead. Passive procrastination is just sitting around on your sofa not doing anything. That clearly is a problem. - Lehman Brothers had arranged for a decision-making class in the fall of 2005 for its senior executives. It brought four dozen executives to the Palace Hotel on Madison Avenue and brought in leading decision researchers, including Max Bazerman from Harvard and Mahzarin Banaji, a well-known psychologist. For the capstone lecture, they brought in Malcolm Gladwell, who had just published Blink, a book that speaks to the benefits of making instantaneous decisions and that Gladwell sums up as “a book about those first two seconds.” Lehman’s president Joe Gregory embraced this notion of going with your gut and deciding quickly, and he passed copies of Blink out on the trading floor. The executives took this class and then hurriedly marched back to their headquarters and proceeded to make the worst snap decisions in the history of financial markets. -Question one is: what is the longest amount of time I can take before doing this? What time world am I living in? Step two is, delay the response or the decision until the very last possible moment. If it is a year, wait 364 days. If it’s an hour, wait 59 minutes. Most of us would say that a professional tennis player is better than an amateur because they are so fast. But, in fact, what I found and what the studies of superfast athletes show is that they are better because they are slow. They are able to perfect their stroke and response to free up as much time as possible between the actual service of the ball and the last possible millisecond when they have to return it. "Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in."– Napoleon Bonaparte - Most people are taught that you should apologize right away. But I was surprised to find that, in most cases, delayed apologies are more effective. If you’ve wronged a spouse or partner or colleague in some substantive, intentional way, they will want time to process information about what you’ve done. If you acknowledge what you did, and delay the apology, then the wronged party has a chance to tell you how they feel in response, and your apology is much more meaningful. - Just take a breath. Take more pauses. Stare off into the distance. Ask yourself the first question of this two-step process: What is the maximum amount of time I have available to respond? When I get emails now, instead of responding right away, I ask myself this. We need a shift in mindset away from snap reactions toward delay. Innovation goes at a glacial pace and should go at a glacial pace. "The habit of always putting off an experience until you can afford it, or until the time is right, or until you know how to do it is one of the greatest burglars of joy. Be deliberate, but once you’ve made up your mind–jump in."- Charles R. Swindoll

Dr. Leonard Wong, a research professor at the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) of the U.S. Army War College, led an important study titled: “Lying to Ourselves: Dishonesty in the Army Profession.”  The study, which was published in 2015 generated much discussion as well as some consternation and reflection. www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pdffiles/PUB1250.pdf In this episode, Host Dawn Kernagis and IHMC’s Director Ken Ford talk with Wong about his study and its implications. Wong also lectured about his study at IHMC in Pensacola last September: http://www.ihmc.us/lectures/20160907/. Wong’s research focuses on the human and organizational dimensions of the military and includes topics such as leadership development in the military profession. He is a retired Army Officer and taught leadership at West Point. He is also an analyst for the Chief of Staff in the Army. Wong’s research has led him Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo and Vietnam. He has testified before Congress and has been featured widely in the media, including the New Yorker, the Washington Post, the New York Times, PBS, NPR, 60 Minutes and CNN. Wong is a professional engineer and holds a Bachelor’s from the U.S. Military Academy. He also has a Master’s and a Ph.D. in business administration from Texas Tech University. 1:43: Ken reads five-star iTunes review from “CC Rider,” which is entitled “Intelligent Podcast: What a Relief:” “What a pleasure to hear intelligent, articulate people discussing worthwhile topics.” 2:17: Dawn describes Wong’s bio. 3:18: Dawn welcomes Wong and Ken. 3:42: Wong describes his role at the U.S. Army War College, as well as the College’s structure. When Army leaders arrive at the War College, they’ve generally been in the Army for twenty years. They’re at the point of thinking strategically about leadership and their roles. 5:27: Wong’s research into this topic started over a decade ago, with the question of how to build more time into the schedule of junior offices to facilitate innovation. Wong and his colleagues discovered an overwhelming amount of requirements, which were stifling Innovation. In the back of his mind, Wong concluded: ‘If we require more than they can possibly do, what are we reporting?’ 6:36: Wong, in conversation with his colleague Steve Gerras, once asked him what he was doing on his computer. He was supposedly doing mandatory training, but not really. He said, ‘I know, I’m just saying I did it.’ Wong realized then ‘how casually we approach lying, but we don’t call it lying.’ 7:15: The theory of Wong’s subsequent study came from a book entitled “Blind Spots: Why We Fail to Do What’s Right and What to Do About It,” by Max Bazerman and Ann Tenbrunsel (http://amzn.to/2gBJtib), along with what David Messick called ethical fading. The methodology was to use focus groups from various ranks throughout the Army, including staff officers at the Pentagon. 8:12: Dawn mentions that Wong’s study had a precedent: In 1970, the U.S. Army War College published a study showing that lying in the Army was pervasive. Digitization, the audit culture, and downsizing have made it worse today. 8:43: Wong says, “The Army is like a compulsive hoarder. It collects requirements, and it never gives any up. We always add more. We keep adding to the pile. Technology has made a huge influence on this.” Now, with email and Internet, we can ask people to provide digital signatures, and do various online trainings. 9:42: Wong characterizes another part of the problem: “The Army has had a giant emphasis on being a profession. It’s a good thing, but it’s made us believe that we are better than we are. We forget that we are humans. We forget that we are talking about people who can fall to the same temptations, go the same route, as an ordinary human.” 10:35: Ken asks about Wong’s description of people in the Army being so overwhelmed that they have to prioritize. 10:50: Wong says,

While intentional bias generally is an ugly thing, it's also relatively easy to spot if the will exists to do so. But what about bias where individuals or institutions haven't set out to discriminate -- but the net effect is bias? "[M]uch of discrimination is in fact based on unconscious or implicit bias," says Iris Bohnet, a behavioral economist at Harvard Kennedy School, "where good people like you and me treat people differently based on their looks." At times, even the subjects of implicit bias in essence discriminate against themselves. The Swiss born Bohnet, author of the new book What Works: Gender Equality by Design, studies implicit bias in organizations. In this Social Science Bites podcast, Bohnet tells interviewer David Edmonds that even good-faith efforts to address this bias has so far found little evidence that many of the structural remedies tried so far do in fact have an effect on the underlying bias. This doesn't mean she opposes them; instead, Bohnet works to design effective and proven solutions that work to "de-bias" the real world. Bohnet received her Ph.D. in economics from the University of Zurich in 1997 and joined the Harvard Kennedy School in 1998, where she has served as the academic dean of the Kennedy School, is the director of its Women and Public Policy Program, the co-chair (with Max Bazerman) of the Behavioral Insights Group, an associate director of the Harvard Decision Science Laboratory, and the faculty chair of the executive program “Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century” for the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders.
