In summary (Accountability and Power of Influence): There is a strong call for leaders and organisations to link the “what” (DEI strategy) to the “how” (shaping and implementing outcomes) to build better credibility for DEI in the industry. Leadership modelling is critical to change the DEI perception in organisations and the industry. Leaders must create a strong sense of purpose and practice the desired attitude, competencies and skills to adopt for a better DEI experience. By demonstrating these elements, leaders can greatly influence their teams to be more diverse and inclusive in their actions and behaviours.
Emerging priorities for action: Accountability and Power of Influence
To build support for transformation in the industry, the EIC must
encourage leaders to take ownership of issues and lead the DEI agenda
with confidence and visibility, thereby inspiring the industry and member
organisations to be more accountable internally and externally.
