3 Biases That Hijack Performance Reviews, and How to Address Them
Saved by uncleflo on June 22nd, 2018.
When we talk about bias, we often tie it to acts of discrimination or prejudice. But according to cognitive science, everybody, by virtue of having a brain that’s constantly seeking efficiency, is biased in some way — and not all biases make us actively malicious. The key is how we manage our biases. While biases can affect any of an organization’s talent decisions, they can be especially harmful when it comes to diversity and inclusion efforts. And there is perhaps no setting that shapes careers, salaries, and lives like annual performance evaluations. In a recent performance management summit we ran with over 100 large organizations, 57% of them said they weren’t taking any actions to address bias in performance reviews. One reason why may be a lack of shared language: In order to address biases, you first have to be able to label them. Research has found that several biases come up again and again when managers are evaluating a team member.

BBC - Capital - It’s not unusual to get your dream job — and then hate it

If you’ve achieved your dream job, only to find it’s not as great as you thought, you’re not alone. You probably like the idea of it more than the job itself, Georgina Kenyon finds. As a child, I always loved animals. It’s something that didn't change as I grew older. So when the opportunity to take a break from journalism and volunteer at an animal sanctuary in Tasmania for three months arose, I jumped at it. I was certain it would be my dream job. But the reality of the work was quite different to what I had imagined. Instead of spending time each day getting to understand the animals and learn about them, I spent eight-hour days running between duties in the icy, winter rain, doing manual, sometimes heartbreaking, work. Many of the animals, such as Tasmanian devils and quolls, had been hit by cars and needed rehabilitation. I fed them, cared for them, avoided getting bitten — especially at meal times — and cleaned up after them. And, when they didn't survive, we buried them and felt their loss.

Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology - Valentino Braitenberg - Google Books
Saved by uncleflo on November 4th, 2011.
Valentino Braitenberg is a cybernetician, a neuroanatomist, and a musician. He seeks to understand how the beautiful structures of the brain constitute a machine that can enable us to exhibit such skilled behavior as that involved in playing music. Since the early 1960s, I have turned to Valentino for detailed neuroanatomy and for lively essays that cut away the technical details to illuminate the key issues of what we may call cybernetics or artificial intelligence or cognitive science.

Een kikker in mijn buik – Het verhaal van een kind met kanker
Saved by uncleflo on September 21st, 2010.
Valerie is zeven jaar oud als wordt ontdekt dat ze nierkanker (een Wilms’ tumor) heeft. Met spoed wordt ze opgenomen in het ziekenhuis. Eén van haar nieren wordt weggehaald en ze wordt bestraald. Tien maanden lang krijgt ze chemotherapie. In ‘Een kikker in mijn buik’ lezen we wat Valerie meemaakt als kind met kanker. Door de ogen van het kind zien we de ondraaglijke taak van haar moeder om de haren van haar toch al kalende hoofd te knippen. De onmacht van haar vader. De ontelbare, pijnlijke prikken in haar hand. Hoe Valerie vecht tegen de chemoprikken, omdat ze niet begrijpt dat die haar juist beter maken – ze wordt er immers alleen maar ziek van. De misselijkheid. De afgedragen petjes. Het pesten op het schoolplein. Maar het boek gaat ook over de jaren daarna, over de angst voor terugkeer van kanker, de mogelijke nawerkingen van de chemo en bestraling, over de psychische weerslag waar Valerie in haar puberteit tegenaan loopt.

The rich are different from you and me
Saved by uncleflo on August 5th, 2010.
LIFE at the bottom is nasty, brutish and short. For this reason, heartless folk might assume that people in the lower social classes will be more self-interested and less inclined to consider the welfare of others than upper-class individuals, who can afford a certain noblesse oblige. A recent study, however, challenges this idea. Experiments by Paul Piff and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, reported this week in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, suggest precisely the opposite. It is the poor, not the rich, who are inclined to charity.
