Season 1 Episode Finale:
Why are most leadership books written by white men? Eugina Jordan read nearly 50 leadership books during COVID and of those books, only 3 of them were written by a woman or person of color. As an immigrant woman herself and leader in the Telecomm industry, Eugina decided she needed to do something about it. So, she wrote and published a leadership book (linked below.)
Why?
Well, for one, a need for greater representation. On the other hand, and very important to consider: Leadership books written by men don't take into account the experience of women, people of color, immigrants, or other underrepresented groups. If we want to continue to increase diversity in the workplace, then we need more solutions and more representation created and promoted by underrepresented people.
In this episode we discuss:
- Eugina's journey as a leader and author
- The important need of sponsorship in the careers of women, BIPOC, and immigrants
- Tactical ways that you can seek out mentorship and sponsorship
- A call to action for leaders and how they can be a part of increasing diversity and helping the next generation of leaders
Diversity is the present and the future of our world. Organizations that understand that and invest in a diverse workforce will be more successful in the long run. This episode is for anyone that wants to be a part of creating a better workplace for the now and for the future.
