In this piece, speaker, author, and podcaster Minda Harts shares the ways in which anyone can contribute to building a truly equitable workplace culture. It starts with courageous leadership: not being afraid to start productive conversations around how to make things better when you witness discrimination. It continues with courageous listening, and then being a success partner in someone’s career. By sharing real tools anyone can use to fight workplace inequity, Harts guides us toward creating inclusive environments that have a positive impact on every employee.
Key takeaways:
Why courage is essential for leaders who are trying to create an equitable culture in the workplace
How to become a courageous leader even if you’re not a manager
The difference between an ally and a success partner
How everyday actions - such as saying someone’s name in a meeting, recommending their work, or acknowledging a comment rooted in bias - can help make the workplace better for everybody
