Holistic Leadership will be one of the leaders in the development and implementation of concepts and effective tools in the “how to” guide for developing effective leadership within the leadership/DEIB space for years to come.
—HENRY H. EDWARDS,
Vice President (ret.) Organizational Effectiveness, Royal Ahold Delhaize N.V.; Executive Director and Founder of The Entrepreneurship and Leadership Institute (ELI) at Howard University
Our partnership in the DEIB discipline began more than 20 years ago when we were each positioned at two of the largest corporations in Central Pennsylvania. Now, we feel an obligation to share our lessons learned as widely as possible. Our goal is to empower DEIB professionals working within organizations to become DEIB Leaders and align DEIB practices with the organization’s vision, mission, core values, and goals.
While Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging are complex topics, we simplify DEIB by showing how it can be systematically woven into an organization’s DNA. We describe the sequenced and sustainable actions necessary to
• educate the organization about the many dimensions of DIVERSITY,
• ensure fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some individuals and groups — EQUITY,
• help it identify and adopt behaviors and practices that bring traditionally excluded individuals and groups into processes, activities, and decision/policy making in a way that shares power and ensures equal access to opportunities and resources – INCLUSION, and
• instill being heard, accepted, respected, and valued as part of a community; fostering a culture where individuals know they can bring their whole selves to work and contribute meaningfully – BELONGING.
