Join us for a workshop on Taking Radical Responsibility, commitment #1 from “The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership” by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman & Kaley Warner Klemp. This program will focus on thinking through how we might think about our response-ability, our ability to respond to all of the things that life has in store for us! We ask that you come prepared to be at least a tad vulnerable, be willing to challenge and be challenged by all parts of the program. Everyone is welcomed to engage deeply, nudge and tug at all aspects of the program for the sake of increasing our respective capacities for radical responsibility.
It Depends on the Lens: Addressing Unconscious Bias in the Staff Search Process
Facilitated by the Cornell Interactive Theater Ensemble
The Cornell Interactive Theater Ensemble and the Cornell University Recruitment and Employment Center worked very closely to develop this interactive scenario on unconscious bias in the staff search process. In this workshop for hiring managers, supervisors, and search committee members, participants watch a filmed scenario of a search committee meeting, as five staff members begin to articulate their opinions about candidates for the shortlist. Following the scenario, the participants have an opportunity to ask one of the characters questions about the meeting. The CITE facilitator conducts a guided discussion of the participant’s responses to the scenario and the characters. This discussion is followed by a research talk on unconscious bias, describing the studies used to develop the interactions depicted in the scenario. The session concludes with a discussion of legal considerations and best practices for combating unconscious bias in searches.Objectives: The objective of this scenario is to depict a complex, realistic, group interaction to stimulate group discussion about:• the behaviors, perspectives, emotions, assumptions, and biases of the members of the staff search committee as they evaluate applicants during a discussion of materials submitted for review;• unconscious bias which undermines fairness in the search process because of the tendency to evaluate applicants in a way that puts ‘minorities’ at a disadvantage; and• the onus of responsibility for recognizing racial, gender, and other forms of bias in the evaluation of applicants and for challenging our implicit hypotheses about applicants.
Facilitated by Organizational Development & Effectiveness Senior Management Consultant and Trainer, Marcus Brooks and CITE Director, Dane Cruz.
