CSIS Diversity and Leadership in International Affairs Project’s Post

No matter how fast-paced our workplaces become, we need to remember DEI can’t ever be on the backburner. And diversity and inclusion come from leaders — specifically the skills they develop. Agility, emotional intelligence, and empathy are all key markers for a more diverse, inclusive culture — so leaders, gear up those skills 💪 #diversity #inclusion #leadership

We’re more than halfway through 2024, and it’s a good time to remember that leadership — and by extension, the workplace — is changing for the better. It’s also a good time to remember that leadership skills that support DEI are more essential than ever. The ability to look into the future, be agile, and be empathetic are all key skills leaders need to keep developing. In fact, according to the Word Economic Forum's Future of Jobs 2023 report, qualities associated with emotional intelligence such as resilience and empathy are still highly revered by employees. #DEI #skillsdevelopment #leadership #emotionalintelligence

Yet, the data tells us otherwise. #theexodusway #exodusconsultinggroup #leadership #leader #empowerment #management #diversity #equity #inclusion #dei #diversitytraining #teambuilding

DEI has transitioned from being a mere option to becoming an essential expectation among employees, as highlighted in a recent Forbes article. True DEI implementation requires a comprehensive, top-down approach that spreads into every area of your business. Many leaders mistakenly view DEI as just a policy to be implemented, but it's much more than that. It involves ongoing training, soliciting feedback, and integrating DEI principles into all aspects of operations. When DEI is ingrained throughout the organization, its benefits become evident, leading to long-term success and growth. #DEI #Leadership #BusinessGrowth

Its time to own your greatness this performance review season. Reviews can be career-defining moments, yet women face unique challenges. Research shows that women experience undervaluation of achievements and are less likely to self-advocate, and self-promote. For Black women, these hurdles are even steeper. It's time for us to take the driver’s seat in our leadership journeys. 💡 Here’s how you can leverage the S.P.I.C.E principles to excel in your performance review: ✔️ Savvy: Research your wins and align them with quantifiable company goals. ✔️ Performance: Showcase your strategic impact, not the tasks you've completed. ✔️ Image: Ensure your brand matches your contributions. Are you recognized for what you deliver? ✔️ Communication: Be clear, concise, and compelling about your value and impact. ✔️ Exposure: Advocate for the next step in your career—ask for a new project, role, promotion or ask for a strategic connection (i.e. sponsor). ✨ Remember: Reviews aren’t just a reflection of the past year—leverage them as a strategic launchpad for future opportunities. 📖 Black Women Lead With S.P.I.C.E. isn’t just a book; it’s your ultimate playbook and roadmap for navigating corporate spaces with authenticity, power, and grace.
