A Corporate office is full of psychological biases, many not even as prominent or evident as racial or gender bias. Often, we don't even realize that we are a victim of these psychological biases from our managers, until it’s too late. By then, we have either lost out on an interview or have received not-so-great annual performance rating. Awareness is the best cure to navigate through these psychologically complex situations and achieve career success.

The 'Theory of Corporate Mind' originates from a well-known psychological concept called 'Theory of Mind'. Theory of Mind defines the basic ability of human brain to understand and mirror others' perspective.

Do not underestimate the power of these 12 hidden biases. They may have already costed you a lot in your career. Be Aware!
