4 Mistakes Leaders should Avoid when Advancing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

In today’s business world, diversity, inclusion, and equity must be a part of a company’s mission. While organizations are developing diversity and inclusion initiatives at different paces, these initiatives are increasingly becoming embedded into organizations as a core business goal. In the current social-political climate diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of many decision-making processes. The collective outcry for justice surrounding the killings of Ahumaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd has opened up a worldwide conversation that reflects on how much farther we have to go before achieving social equality.

Knowing what is the appropriate response can be difficult, knowing what not to do is just as important.
