Shownotes

Gregg Ward passionately advocates for fostering a culture of respect and understanding within leadership. He emphasizes the crucial need for leaders to empathize with others' perspectives, regardless of their background. He also underscores the value of respecting every individual, highlighting the transformative power it holds within a team or organization.

Gregg champions the idea of open-mindedness in hiring and promoting individuals who haven't traditionally held such positions. He courageously acknowledges that mistakes may occur, but are a vital part of this evolving process. He calls for a shift in perspective, urging listeners to reframe it as a matter of respect as he believes that by placing respect at the forefront of discussions around diversity, we can pave the way for genuine progress and inclusivity.

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional notions of leadership, and discover how embracing diversity can lead to a more respectful and harmonious work environment.

Episode Highlights:

02:33 - People are so resistant and we live in such a highly politicized environment now, where the very term "diversity" is now political and politicized, and it drives me nuts. And my focus is on respect, which is at the core of everything we do here. And if we can help folks understand how important respect is, regardless of who you are. If I treat you in a way that you consider respectful, that's likely to turn out to be a good thing.
