Episode Synopsis "Civil Rights - Lesson 3 of Seven Lessons I've Learned in the Workplace"

Have we yet learned the lessons around Civil Rights?  Can we move beyond compliance to legislation?  And, what about that ~70% defined as "White" in this nation?  When will we change, dismantle even, this notion that the U.S. is 70% White with the next highest percentage of cultural, "racial" groups being set at about 14%?  In this episode, I share some of the lessons that I have learned around Civil Rights--having been educated in a school system where 1 or 2 teachers and/or staff looked like me and later learning that leaders of organizations (corporate and non-profit alike) operate in ways that continue to perpetuate the status quo.  And, that behavior that holds on to a minimum standard of compliance is rooted in one key factor: Identity.   Leave a message at anchor.fm/knowledge-font to share:  What's been your experience with Civil Rights legislation in the workplace?
