Allyship is offering an interesting way to explain not only what #DEI is but also what it is not. #more #deixplainer #deixplaining

The goal of #diversity #equity and #inclusion is NOT to simply and crudely replace white men with multiply-marginalised folks. ⚫️ The goal of DE&I is to dismantle exclusion, inequity, and “sameness”. 🟤 The goal is to implement performance criteria and expectations of leaders, including the ability to cultivate and safeguard an inclusive culture. ⚪️ The goal is to ensure those who do stay in their leadership roles, meet a standard of performance which should include DE&I.

Reflecting on some important topics that often get overlooked—racism and nationalism. These are conversations we need to have, even when they’re uncomfortable. I've been thinking a lot about what it means to truly understand and respect our differences while also celebrating where we come from.

In Inclusive Leadership, Sile Walsh writes: "Inclusive leadership isn’t about only including those I agree with, but about leading so everyone can belong and be valued for their uniqueness. Human rights must take precedence over political divides." These words resonate particularly in the current context. As political divides deepen, it’s crucial to foster leadership that prioritizes human rights and dignity for all. How can we, as leaders, embrace these principles and create inclusive environments where every voice is heard? #InclusiveLeadership #HumanRights #Inclusion #Reflection
