As a microcosm of society, the workplace is a flashpoint for the havoc, anguish, and long-tail consequences of neglecting deep societal inequities.
Leaders are being challenged to understand, explain, empathize, remedy, reconcile, and heal.
All while continuing to run the business.
What's considered "normal" in the modern workplace is largely based on implicit and explicit biases. These crippling "norms" marginalize team members and, by extension, degrade the company's reputation with customers, clients, and partners who demand corporate accountability.
CXO's have an outsized impact that can make or break their organization. Thus, the corner office comes with an outsized obligation to redress lopsided power structures, cultural norms, and deeply-rooted ideologies.
And effectively manage the business.
EDGEWISE is an intimate and carefully curated eight-week executive masterclass. By stimulating personal reflection and collaborative problem-solving, each session is designed to illuminate the tangible business impacts of diversity gaps.
