?? Game Over: Stop Pretending to Do DEI ?? The last few years have brought a surge in DEI initiatives, with organizations rushing to align with social justice movements. But when DEI becomes more about optics than substance, it’s time for a reality check. At MTB Leadership Labs, we’re done with the tokenism, the performative allyship, and the shallow promises. Real DEI requires confronting uncomfortable truths, dismantling old power structures, and doing the transformative work that lasts. Otherwise, the harm being done is far too great to ignore. If your DEI efforts aren’t making real change, then maybe it’s time to step aside. Read more about why we believe it’s #GameOver on performative DEI, and let’s work toward a future where everyone has a genuine seat at the table. #GameOverDEI #RealDEI #LeadershipRevolution #InclusiveLeadership #AccountabilityInDEI #DEIatWork #SocialImpactLeadership #StopPerformativeDEI #LeadersForChange #MTBLeadershipLabs
