No Quick Fix

As you listen and become more aware of the real issues so many are facing in your workplace and beyond, you may begin wondering why diversity and inclusion continue to be a persistent issue in workplaces and why things haven’t improved. Perhaps you’re even questioning why you never knew the things you’re learning about through actively listening to other people’s stories—or, if you knew them, why taking some kind of action wasn’t a priority for you before. You may begin to reconsider a lot of things.

Part of the problem for leaders is that, in the organizational world, they like to “solve” things, and quickly. You may be paid to problem- solve every day, so it’s not a surprise that you would try to apply this lens to what is a complex and multifaceted, multilayered reality that needs greater care and a more nuanced approach. Inequities in our society and in our workplaces have been built, enabled, and perpetuated over many years. Power tends to protect power. Challenging the status quo is, at the least, inconvenient and, at the most, downright threatening to others.
