Research shows interviewing more than one woman for Board openings is a great practice.

Dr. Stefanie Johnson, Associate Professor at University of Colorado Leeds School of Business, shares her research on practical ways to overcome implicit bias.  This podcast interview with Dr. Stefanie Johnson and Tara Dunn covers:

• How does unconscious bias impact the director search process?
• Does implementing a Rooney Rule take care of the problem?
• What would you say to companies who worry that restricting their options is not in the best interest of shareholders?
• Are there other practical steps that boards could take to address this issue?
• What can people do to counteract unconscious bias that they hold themselves or experience from others?
