Personal test

What unconscious biases are at work in your leadership?

Would you like to find out whether and how unconscious bias influences your decisions? My test will give you clarity - with a detailed evaluation and specific recommendations.

Questionnaire (8 questions)

1. decision in the department meeting
In a department meeting, two team members present their project progress. One employee presents confidently, speaks loudly and clearly and makes his points forcefully. The other employee is quieter, but formulates his arguments precisely and objectively. You have to decide who to give more responsibility for the next project step. How do you proceed?
2. filling a key position
After extensive interviews, you must decide on a candidate for a key position in your organization. One candidate has similar professional backgrounds and qualifications to yours, and seems to have the same work ethic and goals as you. Another candidate has a completely different professional background and brings international experience that is important for this position. His way of working seems to be very different from yours. Both candidates are qualified, but their backgrounds are different. How do you make your decision?
3. the right negotiator
Your company is about to enter into important negotiations with a potential key account that is crucial to the company's growth. Two team members could be considered to lead the negotiations: a long-standing employee who has known the company for many years and is experienced in dealing with existing customers, and a younger colleague who could bring new ideas and a modern approach to the negotiation process, but has less experience with customers. You need to decide who will lead the negotiations, as the success of the talks is crucial for the future of the company.
4. the bad presentation
A manager in your team, who has achieved very good results in the past, recently gave an important presentation to the board which did not go well. The presentation was sharply criticized by the board, which has shaken confidence in their abilities. Now another important presentation is due and you need to decide whether this employee should be given another chance to prove themselves or whether someone else should take on the task.
5 The strategic partnership
Your company is about to enter into a strategically important partnership with a new company that is crucial to its future market position. The managing director of the partner company reminds you strongly of someone from your past with whom you had serious conflicts in which you felt personally attacked. This experience has left its mark and you feel that you could transfer these memories to this "new" managing director. However, the partnership is of great importance for the company strategy. How do you deal with the situation?
6. language barriers
A talented member of your team is fluent in English but has little knowledge of the local language. For an important international project, it is not essential to speak the local language, but many team members and management prefer to communicate internally in the local language. The employee has great potential and could make a decisive contribution to the project, but is perceived by many in the team as an "external" because they do not speak the local language well. How do you deal with the situation?
7. career interruptions
You are considering selecting an employee from your team for a management position. This employee has interrupted her career several times for various reasons, most recently to take on family commitments (extended parental leave). Despite these interruptions, she has very good skills and experience for the position. You ask yourself whether she is the right choice. How do you proceed?
8 Delegation
An employee in your team works reliably and performs his tasks well. So far, you have often given him detailed instructions and regularly checked his work to ensure that everything is going in the right direction. Now a new task is coming up and you wonder whether you can give them more responsibility and decision-making freedom to encourage their initiative, or whether you should remain closely involved. How do you proceed?
