Join our host, Michelle Pellizzon and her special guest, Holisticism's Social Media Manager, KP Pilley, as they explore the psychological phenomenon of action bias and its implications on decision-making, online activism, entrepreneurship, and navigating uncertainty in today's world.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Action bias is when we prefer action over inaction, even when waiting or doing nothing may be the better choice.
- Action bias makes people jump to conclusions without thinking it through, which can spread rumors or unexpected consequences.
- Action bias can manifest in different situations like online activism, making business calls, or dealing with stress or uncertainty.
- While action bias may have offered evolutionary benefits, it's important to be mindful of it and consider alternative options rather than acting impulsively.
- Entrepreneurs and creatives in particular can often mistake planning with taking concrete actions, emphasizing the importance of pausing for reflection before initiating a new project or business.
