Hidden Bias – An Ethical Leadership Paradigm:

Focuses on personal awareness & growth and leadership development utilizing the following innovative solutions: Association Theory, Espouse Theory vs. Theory-in-use, and Value Clarification.

Association Theory

Making decisions based on unconscious association, via – hiring, promotion, assignment, compensation, etc… What profound impact is your automatic processing (unconscious activation) having on your personal and professional decision making? At CIS we utilize our collaborative and holistic approach to bring awareness to your automatic processing that may result in flawed decision making that could potentially result in legal proceedings for your organization.

Espouse Theory vs. Theory-in-use (mental mapping)

In the simplest sense – does what we say match what we do… As a leader the quickest way to diminish trust, accountability, and your followers morale is not to have your words mirror your action. At CIS we utilize our collaborative and holistic approach to bring awareness to what one espouse and their mental mapping (What one does). The gap between dimensions allows for a period of reflection, personal and professional growth.

Value Clarification

Values represent our unique and individual essence, our ultimate and most fulfilling form of expressing and relating. Our values serve as our compass pointing out what it means to be true to oneself. When we honor our values on a regular and consistent basis, life is good and fulfilling. At CIS we use our value clarification (VC) tool to assist organizations, executives and future leaders to develop sustainable ethical leadership competencies. Our VC tool assist our clients to identify explicit and implicit bias that may impact their decision making process.
