    Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

    People don’t respect inclusion leaders for perceived lack of competence

    “The leaders’ who don’t respect Diversity and Inclusion…. they don’t think it means they’re competent either. It’s a strong reason for not respecting their work… if it’s   a standard that isn’t acceptable in any other part of the organisation”

    People don’t respect inclusion leaders for perceived lack of accountability

    “One of the reasons why so many people don’t respect diversity and Inclusion leaders is that if you’re not part of the performance management process”

    People don’t respect inclusion leaders for perceived lack of character
