Thrive Leadership: 10 Must-Haves for DEI Success
Kemy Joseph - CEO & DEI Strategist / F.E.A.R.S Advantage
While most leaders are struggling to advance equity in DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives to create better companies, they’re learning the hard way that they can’t provide equity if they don’t have it themselves. Leaders who practice Thrive Leadership have figured out how to illuminate barriers and take 100% responsibility for their role in upholding them, so they can choose different actions that create equity for themselves and more effortlessly offer it to those they lead. This means getting more time back, putting out fewer fires, building more trusting relationships with team members, and feeling whole at work again.
