Why true inclusion requires leaders to embrace personal discomfort
In short: While diversity and equity are proven to drive profits and creativity, progress remains stalled. June Sarpong explores why top executives must act as bold disruptors to break the current status quo.
Despite the clear economic and creative benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion, leadership remains remarkably homogenous. At present, white men hold almost 90 per cent of Fortune 500 CEO positions. To change this, Sarpong argues that leaders must move beyond passive support and become 'rock stars' of inclusion, which requires the courage to forge new connections and push through the discomfort of challenging systems that may even benefit them personally.
