A leader explains why she told her staff that she'd been put in handcuffs, even though she'd never committed a crime.
When we are denied the right to anger, rage finds a way to seep through and reveal the breakages in society. Over time, fear and grief become fault lines, hastening an eruption and a collective outcry for justice. We have seen it before, and we see it now as flames spread across our nation from Minneapolis to Atlanta, New York City to Los Angeles.
Earlier this year, I became president of the Center for Talent Innovation, a think tank that conducts research and advises companies on diversity and inclusion. This is an organization staffed with passionate individuals dedicated to building a more equitable world. Yet not once had the staff gathered to hold a candid conversation on race. It was time.
After the discussion, a colleague asked me,"What is a Karen?" I reflected on the best way to articulate a meme. Karen. Her claims can be lethal. Her performance rooted in entitlement. Her superiority digested in victimhood. She is a reflection of a nation that may never deliver on a promise of equity. Fourteen-year-old Emmett Till had a Karen.
Business leaders must be visible, vocal and willing to use our power and platform to drive change. Hosting these kinds of courageous conversations in the workplace is one way to ensure employees are heard and seen. It's a way to ensure human connection endures. It's a way to drive belonging.
