Listen "How the Death of DEI Became a Case Study in CEO Decision-Making"
Episode Synopsis
Hello Community! Having a discussion about diversity—by whatever name you choose to call it—is not an option. Your employees, customers, and stakeholders are watching, and in many cases, waiting. You don’t have to have all the answers, but you do have to be willing to engage. The most successful organizations are those whose leaders are willing to lean into complexity and seek wisdom from their peers. When companies face industry disruption, they don’t rely on gut feelings—they consult advisors, peer groups, and experts to chart a way forward. Why should this conversation be any different? Today we’re going to get comfortable with discomfort during our final Real Conversation from the C-Suite with my guests, Leo Bottary, author of the newly released book, Peernovation Second Edition, Forged by CEO Forums, Perfected For Teams, and Jim Roberts, author of the peer-reviewed article, DEI is Dead, Long Live DEI.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
