A Conversation in Black & White:
How to Lead Inclusively in Today’s Political Climate
*No relation, but what are the chances?!
Thursday, December 17th
2:30–3:30pm EST / 11:30–12:30 pm PST
As we discuss and explore:
The connection between inclusion, bias, & politics
How to have a political conversation in the workplace
The leader’s role in overcoming political polarization and advancing systemic change
Our name is both a challenge and an invitation—a call to leaders to grow in a transformational way, to lead with deeper intention and courage than they ever have before, and to help shift the cultures they influence towards greater equity and inclusion.
We develop and measure key inclusive leadership behaviors to ensure that they are holistically integrated into the organization’s culture.
We partner with you to initiate sustainable cultural change that results in a competitive and collaborative advantage.We equip your leaders to focus on individual leadership skills, organizational systems and policies, business strategy, and the connection to customers.
Our Key Solutions
Inclusive Leadership Strategy
Our leaders must be more inclusive, so we remove bias from our behavior and systems, and generate more opportunity for everyone.
Your company has pursued unconscious bias training and is exploring anti-racism work, along with other D&I programs. As a leader, you must respond to this urgent and encouraging pressure: many in the company, especially those with deep experience of disadvantage, are saying: “That was good. What’s next?” This is what’s next.
Racially Savvy Leadership
We have to learn how to talk about race with one another, and then lead in ways that produce and retain an equitable racial mix across every job level.
We fear that talking about race will hurt our careers, because:
Many White people are just now finding the motivation to learn about race
Black people are weary of racial disadvantage and teaching White people about race
People of other racial identities are caught somewhere in between
Colleagues outside the USA are learning to manage their own inclusion challenges
Executive Team Development
Our employees and customers want to see company Executives model inclusive behaviors and drive a substantive DEI strategy. Many of our senior leaders don’t know how.
Our Executive Team has yet to “walk the talk” when it comes to leading inclusively. Many of them—particularly the white men—lack the confidence to speak about their own learning around race, gender, and other identity points. The few executives who do not identify as white men risk their influence if they push too hard for D&I. Together, our senior leaders need to engage inclusion as a source for more effective leadership and strategy work.
White Men as Inclusive Leaders
I’m a white man in a leadership job, and I’m motivated to get much better at leading inclusively (or you know white guys who need our help).
I don’t usually shy away from a challenge, but I fear ‘doing diversity wrong’. I know I have a lot to learn, and I know that my company, colleagues, and customers need me to learn it. I need focused support to develop and demonstrate more inclusive leadership, and to help others around me do the same. I’m going to surprise people with the ways I engage diversity and inclusion.
