31. Unconscious
Bias: How to
Combat?
Create diverse talent pools
“But I have a little history under my belt. I know finding
good candidates is tough no matter what. Instead of
complaining about how hard it is to find people — and
blaming a broken talent pipeline for the lack of women in
leadership roles — accept the radical notion that good
talent is hard to find. Then take accountability and build
that damn talent pipeline yourself.”
Laurie Ruettimann
