Today's leaders, customers, and clients are increasingly diverse -- and savvy. So when an organization commits to equity as a guiding principal for serving its base and creating an inclusive workplace, its work teams, communities, and stakeholders are paying close attention and watching how leaders lead. They are watching to see whether leaders work to proactively form collaborative partnerships and meaningful, effective pathways to success -- or revert to top-down tactics. Whether leaders strive for holistic, mutually beneficial solutions for substantive and lasting impact -- or race blindly to a superficial outcome. Whether leaders walk the talk -- or talk over the talent in their organization.
