Do we demonize leaders too much in business today? Some would say yes, including the hosts and guests on this episode  Becoming Inclusive podcast. Frequent guest and Kaleidoscope Group Executive Consultant Brian Johnson joined co-hosts Reggie and Kat to talk about the important role leaders play in launching and sustaining a meaningful diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. 

The three concluded that patience is needed to realistically implement DEI strategies. Brian stressed that point repeatedly, at one point even saying he refers to it as “aggressively patient” when it comes to employee-employer relationships. That may seem a bit of a mixed message but the point he was stressing was that people should not have an expectation that change occurs overnight. It really is a journey and the finishing line often isn’t clear and shifts as society evolves.
