Take-Aways Fair leadership requires treating everyone equally. Reflect on your unconscious prejudices and ensure you minimize the role they play in recruiting. Priming and groupthink are obstacles to creativity. Homogeneous networks have limited reach and are, thus, of little use to members. Distribute unsatisfying and rewarding tasks fairly. Good feedback provides psychological safety. Rules of thumb facilitate decisions, but often lead to discrimination. Fixed role expectations create obstacles for working women.  Promote mentoring and sponsorship across group boundaries.

Summary
Fair leadership requires treating everyone equally.
The world of work features two types of discrimination: blatant discrimination, which it is obvious and unambiguous to all involved, and subtle discrimination. The latter feels equally unfair to the target of the discrimination, but often, the perpetrator has no idea they are guilty of any injustice. Nevertheless, these micro-injustices are hurtful and undermine team performance.
