Navigating the VUCA World: Managing Risk and Employee Input

Posted by Leigh Morrison | Feb 24, 2022 | Features, Navigating the VUCA World, Recent Posts | 0

Organizations are experiencing an unprecedented rate of turnover, and with it, losing money, institutional knowledge, and in some cases, reputation. Many of these losses could be pre-empted by tuning into a resource you probably already have available: input from employees. My top piece of advice to organizational leaders in this unique moment: Don’t allow employee frustrations to fester. As we work with organizations on their DEIJ journeys, we see this happening in several ways.

By Whose Standards: “Leadership Material” and Underqualified Executives

Posted by Leigh Morrison | Oct 21, 2021 | By Whose Standards, Features, Recent Posts | 0

For executives further along in their equity and inclusion journey, recent events and today’s socio-political climate may be prompting a question they are not accustomed to grappling with — particularly if they have faced relatively few barriers to career advancement: “Am I qualified for this role?” The ability to understand and work effectively with others across cultural differences is a critical skill; lacking it ought to be seen as an underqualification for anyone tasked with leading a diverse workforce. It is a result of white supremacy that it has not always been understood that way.

Beyond the Rhetoric—Centering Justice and Anti-Racism in our DEI Strategy: Engaging Leaders to Become Effective Allies

As organizations adapt to and change with the current political climate, with many scrambling to meet the needs of their Black employees and change their cultures to be anti-racist, the role of organizational leaders will be critical in making the long-term systemic changes needed to ensure racial equity and justice.

We say it all the time: “Diversity is more than a numbers game.” Yet, in almost every industry I have worked with, diversity work is met with skepticism, followed with some combination of the following: “show me the numbers,” or “the data doesn’t back it up,” or “people say this is happening, but the data doesn’t show it,” or even more common, “we don’t have a big enough sample size.” How are we perpetuating injustices and inequities if we only value and/or choose to act upon the numbers that we choose to collect, and want to act upon?

A Point of View: Social Emotional Learning and DEI Work

Although some SEL programs directly or indirectly address D&I, many of these programs at best perpetuate identity blindness, and at worst rely on and reinforce the white supremacist idea of “grit” as an equalizer, rather than emphasizing that equity is an action that the privileged themselves must take. Centering “grit” and “resilience” in these programs underestimates, and consciously seeks to downplay, the lived experiences of being marginalized and oppressed, instead putting the onus on them to “fix” themselves.
