Greatheart Develops Inclusive Leaders for Courageous Cultures
The business case for global diversity and inclusion (D&I) is well established: D&I helps to open markets, increase sales, win and retain talent, fuel high-performing teams, build partnerships, innovate efficiently, and grow an inclusive culture and brand.
Diversity work has historically focused on programming in support of people experiencing disadvantage. That is still necessary and useful, and we help it happen via our leadership development solutions. However, we are seeing that this work is only part of the solution. Increasingly, it is becoming clear that it is also essential to engage people experiencing advantage (white men for example) in D&I solutions—such engagement leads to more meaningful relationships and more inclusive cultures.
Business and social trends now push companies to optimize the results of diversity work by developing allies across every dimension of difference: men coming alongside women, white people building relationships of trust with colleagues and clients of color, etc.
