KEY CONCEPT

Academic research showing the disappearance of stereotypical assumptions of leadership and race may be flawed. People are not necessarily less biased than in the past; they are more adept at hiding those biases. As a result, business leaders should surface the hidden or subconscious biases that may be undermining their diversity efforts.
