Looks like we need it more than ever.

Why the laughs? Don’t think it’s needed as we engage with each other?

This is completely anecdotal but I feel at least 70% of leaders I speak to privately (male, female, black, white, asian, insert your flavour of minority/majority) have felt DEI has been a failed policy for at least the last 2-3 years. We have promoted some people who 100% should not be in the chairs they are in (and some of them have subsequently been exited 2-3 years later when *shockingly* they haven’t been able to perform). And guess what? The actual qualified people we kept in the queue have either left or are not happy campers.

I’ve never understood why if you are not an identified “minority” we feel it’s 100% okay to discriminate against that group just because we “need” to promote a certain minority group in the name of DEI. And it’s super funny to see all the Partners that are already over the line virtue signal about DEI. Easy to be all for it when you got over the line 8+ years ago before DEI became in vogue.

Go back to promoting the people who are performing using the metrics that matter. It’s not perfect but whatever we’re doing now is not working.

I think some aspects of it that have been completely over the top are probably over, but haven’t we been seeing the tide turn back a bit anyway? For example, scolding employees on DEI training because they failed to identify “microinequities” - come on.

Definitely, thank god!
