PMO | Don't Let Biases Play Against Youu

11/2/2024

 
I was disappointed to realize how bias affects people's judgments in the workplace. Once someone decides they don't like you, they will seek evidence to support their mindset, even if that evidence is not valid.

The story revolves around a junior project manager overseeing a complex project. The PMO removed him from some dev team meetings to help him focus on project execution. However, this decision later worked against him, as colleagues criticized him for not actively engaging with the team and missing meetings even though this change was planned in advance. They claimed he was not curious to learn from the group or follow up on matters, which wasn't true. In reality, the project was being executed successfully; it's hard to believe he could achieve that without any follow-ups with the team.

The takeaway here is never to underestimate the importance of your relationships with others. Everyone carries biases—in fact, it's a reality we all face. The key is to ensure those biases don't influence perceptions and decisions.
