Quote
Allyship is about advocacy and action and it is imperative that those of us in positions of power and represent the historical, legacy majority business culture do our part to create more diverse and inclusive leadership, organizations and culture. It is as much a business imperative as it is a moral and ethical one. Diverse teams outperform less diverse teams per Harvard Business School and other studies over time. As a leader, if you’re not fostering and advancing diversity, you’re failing in your fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders and failing your employees, customers and stakeholders!
