Key Statements

“Yeah, I'd say that the times are gone where things are happening in the world that affect an organization's people and leadership does not act on it. It's critical with respect to DACA, where CEOs know that there could be—and most likely are—people in their organizations who are going to be impacted or their families are going to be impacted. That person's not going to be able to bring their best self to work if they are working in an environment where there is not a conversation about that, where the CEO of the organization isn't just saying things externally but voicing things internally. Same thing with Black Life Matters and issues related to race in this country generally. This is critically important for all organizations. Does it affect everyone's business? I'd aggressively say absolutely, absolutely. And so therefore, if you are not speaking up, the board should be asking the CEO, why not?”
