In a world that is changing. promoting the acceptance of diversity and an inclusive approach in every aspect of life, in corporations we still talk about a shared cultrure.

Neuro science helps us understand and deconstract the myth of bias being a malpractice of leadership, but still leaders need to constantly get trained in reviewing their biased and creating a working environment of justice and development opportunities. It is a matter of human rights, afterall, and leaders should rise to this high purpose, more than anyone else.
