The path to inclusive leadership often overlooks the rich potential within our Asian employees. Joy Chen and Angela Cheng-Cimini’s latest Harvard Business Review article sheds light on breaking these barriers. However, one key aspect missed is the importance of cultural competency training for all employees to truly integrate diverse leadership styles. “Imagine if discovering Asian leadership talent were as easy as finding the mute button on a Zoom call—simple but often overlooked!” 😄 #indianamericans #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #AsianLeadership #InclusiveWorkplace #LeadershipDevelopment #CulturalCompetency #WorkplaceDiversity #HBR #CareerGrowth #BreakingBarriers

The current scrutiny of DEIB efforts presents an opportunity to move beyond performative actions. By centering employee well-being and psychological safety in inclusion and diversity strategies, organizations can build trust, address existing anxieties, and ultimately achieve a more sustainable and impactful form of inclusion. Inclusion and diversity initiatives currently need a way to prioritize metrics that measure not just diversity numbers, but also employee experience and belonging to lead to a more holistic approach that creates equitable workplaces. #DEIB #DEI #Diversity #inclusionanddiversity #belonging

🌟 **Boosting Board Diversity: e.l.f. Beauty's Bold Campaign** 🌟 e.l.f. Beauty has launched the "So Many Dicks" campaign to spotlight the lack of diversity on corporate boards across the U.S. "For the campaign, E.l.f.'s agency, OBERLAND analyzed the names of nearly 37,000 board members of 4,429 publicly traded companies on the NYSE and Nasdaq. Of the male board members, 566 were named Richard, Rick, or Dick. Hispanic women numbered 283--or half of the men who happened to be named Dick, prompting the wry tagline. The study also found more Black women (806 total) and Asian women (774) than men named Dick, but by slim enough margins to still raise eyebrows. Other findings include that the average corporate board in America is 88 percent White." Their initiative not only highlights disparities but also promotes the business benefits of diverse leadership.  Very clever campaign for sure! I suspect we will see a change in these numbers over the next 5-10 years, but for now, it's still an old boys club at the board level. 🌍💼 👏 Very good progress was made seeing the diverse room of board members a few weeks ago at the #PrivateCompanyGovernanceSummit. I was pleasantly surprised! #BoardDiversity #Leadership #Inclusion #CorporateGovernance Sources: Adweek, Beauty Packaging https://lnkd.in/en2y67Bd
