In the Podcast ‘Diversity of Diversity’, Fons Trompenaars is interviewed with the CEO of the Aegis Group.
Insights about Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DIE) are put in the context of leadership, systems, generations, and the benefits or business case in creating a culture of DEI.
The following main points are shared:
- Diversity starts with leadership.
- Organizations and their leaders must recognize the need to act if they want to create a diverse and inclusive workplace.
- The diversity of a system needs to be at least as big as the diversity of its environment
Otherwise, the system will die.
- Great leaders can be found at every level in a company.
- Different leadership generations face different issues, and leaders need to constantly act on new emerging challenges.
The point is made that diversity of opinion is not what DEI should focus on, and a main of leaders is to stimulate DEI dialogue and seek authentic change.
