Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit aims to help leaders realign core values
For Nakeia Drummond, creating a diverse and equitable workplace is not about which practices to put in place; it’s about leaders realigning core values.
As the founder and CEO of equity-centered management consulting firm NLD Strategic, Drummond said in the past year or year and a half she had seen leaders of some major, big-name organizations step up and challenge themselves. But even then, she said, they are only taking the first steps of a long journey.
