For high-profile leaders like public representatives, elected officials, and C-suite executives, the job description always includes decision-making that will have a direct and significant impact on others. As inequity continues to be an issue in both public and private organizations, these leaders often find themselves tasked with addressing the concerns of marginalized groups who feel they are not being heard or served.
From corporate executives challenged to address discriminatory hiring practices to public institution directors faced with accusations of oppressive tactics and policies, these leaders are under a significant amount of pressure to address these concerns before they spiral out of control and make decisions that will correct these issues in the long-run.
