Inclusion is hindered by people competing with each other in unhealthy ways. - HR Vs Diversity Lead - ERG Leaders Vs Line Manager - DEI “experts” Vs. DEI “experts” Too often it’s about status. These status contests waste everyone’s time Don’t let status get in the way of building Inclusion in your workplace. PS. I made a whole podcast episode about this issue.?
I just had a wonderful conversation the other day with Jaya Mallik, M. Ed. about something very similar! Particularly we were talking about the way in which academic and intellectual elitism create gatekeeping mechanisms to DEI knowledge and practices. In other words, as you just said, it, ego gets in the way of the good work.
