Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is a contemporary issue that leaders are tackling in police departments, corporate boardrooms, and in higher education. This is an issue that deserves our attention and this week we are reading
by Zhen, Kim, Kark, and Mascolo, a Harvard Business Review which highlights many salient issues for leaders. After reviewing this article, please explain any current initiatives in your place of employment that relate to DEI. If you are not currently in the workforce, what is your personal perspective on how leaders should address DEI…what do you see as the key issues and how would you manage these in your role as leader?
