Part 2: The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni

Sophistication bias is a problem due to the simplicity of organizational health. Leaders often see change and movement as complex and hard, so the idea that organizational health comes from being whole, consistent and complete boggles the intellectual mind. Keep it simple! Lencioni states an organization needs uncommon levels of discipline, courage, persistence and common sense to be healthy.

Adrenaline bias comes from the need of leaders to be doing and going at a frantic pace which can often miss critical issues that need to be addressed however, seem to lack urgency.

Quantification bias happens because health is not numbers and data on a spreadsheet; it is hard to quantify. Organizational health requires conviction and intuition. As I continue to read this book, I find the word RELATIONSHIP often coming to mind. Reflection thoughts: Do we have positive, trusting relationships within our organization? Do I see, or experience, any of these biases in my organization? As a leader, do I exemplify any of these biases?
