Decision-making training in La Chaux-de-Fonds · canton of NeuchâtelManagement Training in La Chaux-de-Fonds: Why Do We Seek Confirmation of Our Views?
Why do we seek confirmation of our views? This question has practical relevance for team leaders in La Chaux-de-Fonds, across watchmaking factories, microtechnology workshops and industrial design offices. Here is what the studies establish, and what they do not.
What Research Establishes
Raymond Nickerson (1998, Review of General Psychology) provides an overview of confirmation bias, which occurs in many domains.
The Limits of the Evidence
Knowing about the bias is not enough to protect oneself against it.
What This Means for Team Leaders
Research does not provide a recipe: it indicates where to focus attention. In La Chaux-de-Fonds, the challenge is to translate this finding into observable behaviour, then assess its effect within one's own team. This is one of the areas addressed in the Decision-Making Training in La Chaux-de-Fonds; all options are listed on the All Training Courses in La Chaux-de-Fonds page.
