It is tempting to say "I don't want to play the what ifs game." But the reality is that no chess game was ever won without gaming things out. Engaging the "what ifs" is mission critical for planning.

💡Dear Managers - If you found yourself completely unprepared or unequipped to discuss last month’s acute race crisis, it’s possible you haven't built strong enough interpersonal relationships with your employees./1

Great day to be a Longhorn, want to thank the students, athletes, administration, alumni and those behind the scenes working who made this happen. Looking forward to make more positive change on campus. Hook’Em.
After discussion with students, alumni and community members, we will be taking a series of actions to promote diversity, inclusion and equity and more fully support Black students on campus: utex.as/3fwimV6

University of Texas making changes after Black athlete demands; football field renamed star-telegram.com/sports/col…
Elizabeth A. Bert retweeted
Should be noted that probably 85-90% of Texas players' requests were granted. School wasn't giving money to BLM (a political group/non-starter) and wasn't changing The Eyes.

The University of Texas will make more than a dozen changes to better support and welcome its Black student athletes but will not get rid of its fight song

When employees feel fully seen and understood, their organizations thrive. But managers can't make them feel this way without unbiased and focused day-to-day coaching practices. s.hbr.org/2YTUTHy

PSA: If you are a current or future college athlete, you are worth more than they say you are. Every single one of you is worth more than the game. Your power is in your voice, your talent, your heart, and your mind. And dw, a bunch of us are working real hard to have your backs!

There’s 40 years of social science data documenting the patterns of bias that affect women and people of color.
Use this data to pinpoint where bias plays out in business contexts and then interrupt that bias with new, evidence-based processes bloom.bg/3d0qxH1

If a business had a problem with sales, they would gather the evidence, establish metrics, and keep trying different things until it achieved its goals.
That same data-driven, experimental approach can be used to fight racism and sexism in the workplace bloom.bg/3d0qxH1

A lot of companies say they stand in solidarity with black Americans and oppose racism.
Super, glad to hear it. But what’s the racial makeup of your board? Who succeeds in your organization? Who gets promoted? bloom.bg/3d0qxH1

It's unacceptable that women and people of color get penalized when they advocate for diversity at work.
When people who aren't white or male speak out on bias, it's not a self-serving act.
They're putting their careers at risk to fight systemic injustice.
