As a leader, I try to use what power and influence I have to make change. Yesterday, on a holding co leadership call when trying to get a Fortune 15 company to meaningfully act. I was faced with 4 white, 50+ y/o men on a zoom screen telling me they were “doing enough.” Ignoring statistics, the research they provided, let alone the moral argument. If I am this exhausted, frustrated, and drained in this moment, I can only imagine this is a sliver of what others feel every day.

I’ve found it’s helpful to reframe. “Doing enough”... for who? You? Your employees? Public opinion? I’m guessing enough for them isn’t nearly enough for any of the other players.

This is an anon forum. Can you call out this holding company? I'm pretty happy with omnicom right now, but watching WPP and shaking my head.

Wow. Sexist, ageist and racist all in one post. Your Tribeca wins the internet today.
