1. a. My three biases are fairness bias, optimism/overconfidence bias, and substitution bias. b. A scenario for fairness bias can be the ways in which promotion of an employee can be prevented purposely to let another undeserving employee become promoted. This implies that even after being eligible to be promoted because of outstanding performance, the employee is not allowed to be promoted. A scenario for optimism/overconfidence bias is the way in which there can be a manager not identifying the talent and interest of a subordinate employee.
