Listen "The Essence of Inclusion in Leadership - a Conversation with Toby Mildon"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 39 of the Rawthentic Leadership Podcast is an insightful exploration into the world of Diversity and Inclusion in leadership, with a focus on Inclusion.
My guest is D&I consultant Toby Mildon, who I worked with when he was working at the BBC. Our conversation has many levels of depth and covers a broad area, which makes it the perfect resource for any manager or leader wanting to get to grips with this critically important topic and also hear from Toby’s lived experience.
Here are some highlights from our conversation:-
How Toby ‘fell’ into D&I
The 10/90 Iceberg analogy
The scope of diversity
Micro aggressions and micro inequities – what’s the difference?
Why some people don’t challenge micro-inequities
Representation unpacked
The criticality of representation (in leadership and throughout)
Fear of causing offence and its impact
Diversity washing a.k.a. window dressing – the rhetoric gap
Calling out and calling in – what’s the difference?
The ‘where D&I sits in the business’ conundrum
One of the first questions Toby asks when consulting with new clients and the critical follow up question
Essential elements to achieve ‘the golden standard’
The difference between equity and equality
Integrating D&I into ‘the way we do business – and a clear comparison
The hierarchy, chronology and priorities of D&I
We ran out of time to cover intersectionality so here is a link to an explainer video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1islM0ytkE
