Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already 21with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake 22to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our 23of his personality. 24, halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”--- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually 25and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good 26. Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as 27when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.
As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an 28 high opinion of their own worth, while making things 29for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being 30, they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.
