The role of business in nurturing long-term diversity and inclusion 

Summary 

The speaker is Starbucks COO and in Starbucks, people of various races are working.  However, she tells us that for a long time, people worried about the race for numbers in one company instead of building relationships with people of diverse backgrounds in the United States. And then, it was not effective and not supportive of efforts to be more inclusive and diversity. 

Leaders have to make employees feel more worthy and learn from each other. 

The generation is not that you are a leader thus employees follow you. It’s about how great you can create followership. 

After one black man was killed, the pandemic showed the inequalities in the communities, health care, and their housing. People must know about the ills of lack of diversity and inclusion and have to have more conversations for its solutions to create a truly inclusive workplace.
