Over
the next several weeks, Stan and Chris will embark on a new
miniseries called Demystifying DEI, where we will look at how
organizations are approaching the important work of diversity,
equity, and inclusion. In this series, we're excited to hear how
industry leaders are authentically incorporating diversity, equity,
and inclusion principles into their organizations, investing in
their people to drive change, and the lessons they have learned
through curiosity and trial.
This
week, we kick off our Demystifying DEI miniseries with a
conversation Stan and Chris had with Ebbie Parsons. Ebbie is the
Founder and Managing Partner of Yardstick Management, America's
leading Black-owned management consultant firm. In this discussion,
Stan and Chris dive deep into the principles of diversity, equity,
and inclusion. They explore the business case for DEI, the
importance of diversifying your network, and how processes and
systems can enable advancements.
Ebbie
shares why it's critical that we all drive intentional change
across organizations and why it's a marathon and not a sprint. This
conversation is rich with actionable insights on how leaders can do
the demanding work to develop an equitable society for all. We were
really interested in hearing about Ebbie's work with business
leaders as we started the Demystifying DEI series of
No Turning
Back.
