Feedback we’re getting from business professionals.
“
I like how you touch on the consumer side of things. Bias of any kind whether that is racial, economic, or class is dreadful for business… Anyone who argues for the contrary is typically benefiting from a gatekeeper system… they will soon find themselves no longer being the market leader.
”
— Alexander K.
(Owner / Founder, FinTech Company)
“
Thinking long term requires leaders to consider inclusivity in their strategy. We often hear about "Inclusion and Diversity", but you don't really have a diverse team until you understand how to be an inclusive team.
”
— Katy F.
(Director of Talent Acquisition, Consulting Firm)
“
Yes diversity/inclusion is necessary, and it is imperative to the bottom line and MUST be rectified for the sake of future generations, who will no longer tolerate 'business as usual' brands.
”
— Jacki S.
(Account Manager, Tech Company)
“
Organizations need to get it right the first time... symbolism and mere statements are not enough. Individuals and firms need to be committed to real change.
”
— Kevin J.
(Medical Director / Chair, Large Health System)
“
Really love how you’ve framed this…Thinking in purely self-interested terms, as a business owner/manager, if I recruit heavily in the black community, I’m more likely to be able to attract top talent that others are simply missing. Competitive advantage.
”
— Frank B.
(Head of Sales, Technology Company)
“
The color of diversity is green, as in money, as in it is good for business. I realized that, with corporate America run by old white men, the economic argument was a way to open the door, to get them to listen. People have to learn to speak into others’ listening.
”
— Daniel S.
(General Counsel, Manufacturing Company)
