Racially Savvy Leadership
Racial difference is a primary indicator for advantage and bias in history, in us, and in our companies. We aren’t taught to have courageous conversations across racial differences—but we must learn to do so.
What is Racially-Savvy Leadership Video
Racial Savvy is understanding how racial differences and dynamics function—between people, in organizational life, and across society—and knowing how to collaborate effectively when race is a factor.
This is generative work, particularly at this time in the United States. The courageous conversations that happen in trusting interracial relationships must translate into leadership action and systems change that removes bias and creates opportunity.
Sustained equity focuses on advancing people who identify as Black, Indigenous or as other people of color—people of the global majority. At the same time, White leaders must take responsibility for their race and learn to distinguish themselves by growing their own racial savvy.
Discourse across difference has never been more fraught than it is today. Racially Savvy Leadership is about building relationships based in trust and accountability that allow us to bridge and learn from our racial differences.
