Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Confirmation bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to pay more attention to facts that agree with their current opinions and ignore or discount facts that contradict them. Confirmation bias can affect how people perceive, interpret, and remember information, as well as how they make decisions and judgments. Confirmation bias can hinder learning and change, as people may resist or reject new information that challenges their existing beliefs or assumptions.

D? Really? Who has 'time' for change these days? I'll take the option that involves actually getting stuff done - C all the way!

Haha, B is definitely not the right answer. As if any leader is truly 'unaffected' by the change they're leading!

I agree with C, but I also think A is a valid point. Having that local decision-making authority can really help drive the change effectively.
