The Role of DEIB in Leadership with Sarah Townsend
The goal of inclusion isn’t just to treat people how you want to be treated but to really figure out how they want to be treated and treat them accordingly.
In the Hot Seat: Sarah Townsend on what it means to have an inclusive company culture.
Andy’s guest is Professor Sarah Townsend. This interview is part of a series Andy did for the USC Marshall School of Business Executive Education Program called The Lifelong Learning Series. Sarah Townsend is an associate professor of Management and Organization and interim Assistant Vice Dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at USC Marshall School of Business.
Highlights from this conversation include why inclusion is so important for innovation and what it means to have an inclusive company culture.
