Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 4 Episode 3 Episode Title: Corporate DEI Initiatives   Guest: Dr. Anthony C. Hood   Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives.   Show Summary:  “If you're looking for somebody to do diversity recruiting or put on panel discussions, Women's History Month, Black History Month, go find somebody else. But if you want to impact and drive workplace change, I'm interested - Dr. Anthony C. Hood”   In today's rapidly changing world, diversity, equity, and inclusion have become essential elements for organizations looking to succeed and stay competitive.   More and more organizations in corporate America recognize the value of creating a diverse workforce. However, achieving true diversity, equity, and inclusion goes beyond addressing race. It commits to building an environment where everyone is treated equitably and given equal opportunities, regardless of background, ethnicity, or other personal characteristics.   My guest today is Dr. Anthony Hood, an exceptional academic and corporate executive who is deeply involved and entrenched in diversity, equity, and inclusion activity within Alabama and beyond. In this episode, we talk about his experiences as a Chief DEI officer in corporate America and how he leads with evidence-based data when presenting strategies for progress and measuring success through KPIs, metrics, goals, and visions.   Join us as we delve into the challenges and opportunities of promoting real, meaningful change that goes beyond mere performance.   3 Exceptional Highlights:   The holy grail in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work is when it ties up with all areas of the organization, impacting compensation and performance evaluation. Anti-black racism still exists in corporate America, and most companies are not ready to  discuss it. It's essential to approach diversity research and literature nuanced and complexly to grasp its full implications for organizations.   Show Highlights:    03:09 - Why Dr. Anthony Hood made the bold decision to leave academia and return to corporate America   05:36 - Is the Chief DEI Officer role more performative than effective following the tragic death of George Floyd?   11:25 - How to collaborate with respected colleagues without giving off perceptions of superiority or stepping on their expertise   13:15 - Why Dr. Hood wants to create a safe environment as a Chief DEI officer where people feel psychologically safe with him   15:02 - Lessons learned from some of the most challenging initiatives in the workplace encountered by Dr. Hood   17:27 - The importance of speaking corporate slang to gain traction in DEI initiatives   19:25 - Why are DEI metrics so crucial, and which ones should companies focus on?   28:45 - If it's not equitable for one, it's not equitable for everyone   30:32 - Leaders often hoard talent to the point of sabotaging their mobility   34:31 - Several community DEI initiatives Dr. Anthony Hood is most involved in Important Links:     Episode Sponsor Links:    Producer Links:   Host Social Media Links:   Subscribe to Diversity Matters  Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher

In this week's episode, Ricardo talks about moral hazards. He exemplifies the recent collapse of the North American financial system when the Silicon Valley Bank closed its doors. From then on, a debate arose about the extent to which the government should interfere, with the emergence of moral hazard, because if the government helps, other banks will also have this right. Bank executives will assume riskier operations, and investors will be less demanding of the banks with which they do business. From the perspective of projects, we can experience the same situation; that is, we risk more when we think there will be fewer consequences if the risk materializes. If nothing occurs when a supplier is late, he will not be incentivized to provide on time. The issue is that we do not know exactly what transpired with the delivery, and if we punish this supplier, we face the danger of other vendors refusing to do business with our company. This is the principle of asymmetric information; we know less about the impact and probability of the risk occurring than the supplier does. And there is no mathematical solution to this impasse; it all depends on human expertise to comprehend the issue and choose the least risky option. Listen to the podcast to know more.

Monica Crowley discusses bank failures over the weekend, ESG and social justice being the cause, and how risk assessment measures put into place after the 2008 financial crisis were ignored. The former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury dispels the rumors that Trump's banking reforms are the cause of the bank failures, commenting “on the deregulation part, that is not part of this equation whatsoever from the Trump years. If that were the case, you'd see more far more widespread problems in the banking sector. And again, we hope this doesn't spread but did the Trump deregulation aspects on the financial sector came into play? Not at all.” She says that, “in this situation the DEI and ESG are part of this. It is 100% true that we are seeing industries, companies across the board that changed their focus to a social justice platform more than their actual core business, there are deleterious effects on that core business. Is that reverberate all the way down to the customer, but certainly through the board, shareholders, etc, all the way down, because they're not focused on their core mission.” Commenting, “What we do know about this Silicon Valley Bank is that the risk assessment person was focused on again, DEI stuff, she had just done a full month on LGBTQ pride, focused on underrepresented entrepreneurs. So again, one of the things that contributed to the first financial crisis back in 2008, were all these affected banks were handing out loans like candy to people who could not service those loans, they couldn't afford mortgage backed securities, all of this stuff, because they were engaged in this kind of social justice approaches to their business, rather than focusing on the bottom line serving their customers and taking care of their shareholders. And so when you go off on that tangent, bad things are going to happen.” Crowley comments that her “particularly outraged” in this situation, is that “even though the administration is saying no bailout, it is going to be a bailout, and you know who in the end is going to cover the costs for this, you and me, the average American who is very careful and responsible for with our money. We're going to be the ones that are going to cover the costs for bailing out venture capitalists, and tech people for the most part.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Group Violence Intervention is a relatively new strategy that seeks to reduce gun violence among groups and their members. Initiatives that seek to Reduce Gun Violence are always Good. The strategy seems to target gangs with the help of the police that provide information about alleged known gang areas or where there are high incidents of Gun violence associated with gangs. However, the GVI uses the term “group” instead of gangs so as to neutralize the power of “gangs” and to recondition efforts towards positive group activities of helping to limit gun violence. According to a story carried by The Philadelphia Inquirer entitled: “A city-led effort to reach potential shooters has produced encouraging results, Philly officials say,” by Chris Palmer dated February 28, 2023; An evaluation conducted by a University of Pennsylvania researcher said the approach, known as Group Violence Intervention (GVI), helped reduce gun violence among targeted groups of young people. The article stated that: An evaluation conducted by a University of Pennsylvania researcher said the (GVI) approach, helped reduce gun violence among targeted groups of young people by as much as 50% during a nearly 30-month period ending last spring, (Philly officials announce GVI results, a city-run initiative to reduce gun violence (inquirer.com). Mr. David Fair, Executive Director of Turning Points For Children said: This is good news. But it's also frustrating because this approach was also successful when it was being implemented in the Rendell and Street Administrations as the Youth Violence Reduction Project, an evidence-based approach that was even more effective than this new project. Moreover, I had some problems and questions concerning this report and study. I responded: Initiatives that seek to reduce gun violence are always good. But it has to be truly effective, and studies must be representative of the strategies' efficacy. The report is absolutely not convincing, makes question-begging-epithet i.e. “alleged certainty” that GVI works because “we know it works.” That's unacademic and a faulty argument that should not appear in a study's report such as this. The report stated that the project has been going on for three decades, however, violence has skyrocketed. The Report is available in The Philadelphia Inquirer: Philly officials announce GVI results, a city-run initiative to reduce gun violence (inquirer.com) We have a copy of the actual evaluation report if you are unable to access it from the Inquirer.

The guest experience is influenced by many factors, but none are more crucial than our employees. Their interactions with guests can make or break a visit and impact the guests' perception of an experience. To fully immerse our team members in the guest experience, it must be integrated into every aspect of the employee lifecycle, from recruitment to offboarding. By doing so, we can create a sustainable culture of hospitality for both our guests and employees. In this episode, Matt and Josh delve into strategies for infusing guest experience initiatives into the employee lifecycle, to ensure that every touchpoint with our team members enhances the guest experience.   Building your culture of hospitality   Creating a culture of hospitality for your team members is about more than throwing a pizza party. It requires a comprehensive approach that integrates the guest experience into every aspect of the employee lifecycle. With this foundation in place, we can establish a workplace environment that embodies hospitality, enabling our team members to deliver an exceptional experience to our guests. This holistic approach will equip team members to go above and beyond, resulting in an even more memorable and satisfying experience for guests interacting with our employees.   Recruitment   Recruitment is the art of building relationships with potential team members and represents the first touchpoint in the employee lifecycle. By infusing the guest experience mentality into the recruitment process, we can identify strong candidates who possess admirable traits and align with the company culture and mission statement. During the interview, we can define a realistic scenario that the candidate may encounter on the job and outline the parameters they would need to work within. By emphasizing the importance of the guest experience from the outset and finding candidates eager to create those experiences, we can develop employees who are better equipped to deliver exceptional experiences.   Onboarding   Onboarding is the touchpoint in the employee lifecycle where team members gain insight into the inner workings of the company and experience what it's like to work in the facility. Instead of overwhelming employees with information during orientation, we should focus on creating an experience that we would provide to our guests. By instilling a feeling of confidence and the excitement of thinking "I made the right decision," employees develop a stronger connection to the company and are better equipped to deliver exceptional guest experiences. By immersing new team members in the guest experience mentality during onboarding, we can foster this culture of hospitality and set the stage for success.   Training   When we transition into the training touchpoint, it's advantageous to build on the foundation of a team member's previous experiences with the company, such as if they have visited as a guest in the past. By doing so, we can ensure that the guest experience remains infused throughout the entire process, while also helping to develop stronger team members. Effective training not only imparts the necessary knowledge and skills, but also establishes a sense of connection within the company. When these phases are connected and work in harmony, employees can better understand how their work fits into the larger picture, which can foster a sense of purpose and motivation. Additionally, by aligning the training process with the company's values and culture, we can ensure that new team members feel invested in the success of the organization from their first day of on the job training.   Development   To infuse guest experience into development, create a mentality where it's 'cool to care' about the guest experience. When team members feel invested in the success of the experience, they become more motivated and committed to the mission. This can be done by recognizing and amplifying success, as well as providing constructive feedback to address imperfections. By doing so, we can create a culture of continuous improvement and ensure that our team members are always striving to provide the best possible experience for our guests. However, this mentality needs to be instilled from the top-down, and consistency is key. All levels of the organization, from frontline employees to executives, must be committed to the development and training of team members. Without consistency in this regard, the system breaks at its layers, and fails to create a sustainable positive culture.   Offboarding   Offboarding is often overlooked in the employee lifecycle, but it can have a significant impact on the guest experience. When team members leave, they become guests again, and how we treat them can influence their perception of our company. To maintain a positive relationship, we need to think beyond the typical exit interview and develop creative ways to show our appreciation. For instance, offering former employees long-term discounts or occasional tickets can keep them engaged as advocates for our brand. Another strategy is to establish an alumni program, which not only maintains the connection with former team members but also helps address staffing needs.    But here's the catch: none of this will work if we don't treat our employees well and create a sustainable positive culture. By building a strong foundation throughout the employee lifecycle, we can create a workforce that is invested in our mission and committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences, even after they move on.

From mass layoffs to sky-high inflation, we've all seen the devastating impacts of economic turbulence. During times of economic uncertainty, just keeping the organization afloat can be a tall order for many leaders. As a result, companies often put crucial initiatives like diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts on the back burner—despite their best-laid plans. In this episode, Rhys explores how PeopleOps leaders can take steps to prevent this from happening and instead continue prioritizing DEI initiatives throughout times of economic turbulence. He sits down with Manjuri Sinha, Global Director of Talent Acquisition, Employer Branding & Onboarding at OLX Group to hear her perspective on the topic.

“You get an experience…” Dr. Duane Davis Executive Director, K-12 Initiatives, University of Chicago, Edpreneur My Very Own Library Youtube: My Very Own Library “Seeing yourself… We are who we waiting for… we all we got.” With 28 years under his belt and after wearing many different hats, Dr. Duane Davis takes us to school on the nuances and context of the P-20 landscape, school choice, and the grand experiment of education. As a Black male educator that's taught just about everything, he's learned the value of time, and the power educators have to make their students feel seen. With deep roots in Chicago, he reflects on doing time at Catholic school, “Teachers for Chicago”, and how being a lover of stories led him into his dream job. “We put a lot of pressure on schools to be the social safety net…” “We in trouble…”... But… how did we get here? Dr. Davis breaks down the impact of Brown V. Board of Education, the problematic rhetoric regarding the pandemic, and the critical services that schools provide to the community. In spite of the challenges, Duane finds joy in connecting students with books, celebrating graduations (including his own! #MamaIMadeIt!!), establishing collaborative partnerships and advocating for every single human that walks into the building. He's Cultivating Genius (one of his recommended texts) and focusing on joy, and is encouraging everybody, but especially Black men in education, to create space to do the same.

In this episode, we talk to Corey Williams about successful implementation of male mentoring initiatives at the college level. He discusses the importance of college persistence for men of color and how to replicate programs for successful outcomes.

Dr. Jim discussed the topic of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) on his podcast . He noted that progress for the Black community has been slow and questioned whether this slow progress is a design feature or a bug. He has had conversations with members of the Black community about civil rights, representation and advancement, and how DEIB was brought forward to create a more equitable world of work and opportunity for the Black community. The conversation highlights the need to consider this slow progress and the importance of DEIB in creating a more equitable world. Dr. Jim talks about the level of frustration that comes up when discussing D E I B initiatives, and how they often don't do what they're designed to do. He references James Baldwin's debate with William F. Buckley and his later quote from 1980, which reflects the struggles of the Black community over the past 60 years. Dr. Jim concludes that if a fair-minded person looks at the slow progress of D E I B initiatives, they must conclude that the slow progress is a design feature. He encourages people to think about what other conclusion can be drawn from this.Timestamps00:00:00Exploring the Slow Pace of Progress for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)00:00:58"Exploring the Impact of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Initiatives on the Black Community"00:02:46 Examining the Effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives00:04:59Conversation on Oppression and Initiatives to Address Injustice00:07:44Examining the Need for Sustained Focus on DEIB Music Credit: Maarten Schellekens - Riviera Follow us at: www.cascadingleadership.comlinkedin.com/in/drjimklinkedin.com/in/1lawrenceobrown

The market for real handmade products is reported to have surged in recent years. Initiatives such as Australia's Seasons of New England Expo and Makers Markets in the UK have led to a revival in small artisanal businesses. Online platforms also give skilful craftspeople a vast market to sell to. Business Daily's David Reid hears from sellers in Manchester making things as diverse as balloon animals and mushroom growing kits. We also hear about the benefits of working with your hands. The philosopher and motor mechanic, Matthew Crawford, is the author of 'The Case for Working with your Hands' and 'The World Beyond Your Head' – he tells us why office work and current management practices have removed judgement and decision making from our day-to-day efforts and alienated us from the real results of the work we do.

We dive into a lot of topics that you'll want to hear Ken explain in much more detail! Ken is an engaging speaker who has done a TEDx Talk in Youngstown, spoken for the Butler County Chamber of Commerce's Youth Leadership Development program, and Butler County Criminal Advisory Board's “Faces of Addiction”. In addition to speaking, Ken is also on the governing board of a “Hope is Dope”, a collaborative NPO with Vision Ministries and organizes ‘endorphin-producing' events for people in recovery as a part of Butler Community College's community initiative of the same name. Ken is an advocate for people in recovery from substance abuse. Having found a way to overcome his own struggles and reach his full potential, he now seeks to prevent young people from following a similar path and works to empower them to maximize their own potential, as well as helping others who may be struggling to recover from their own addictions. We recommend checking out Ken's Tedx Talk: https://youtu.be/uvoLIcahcsIWe spend time learning more about Hope is Dope and Ken's work with Steve Treu to bring this initiative to BC3 & local communities.

My guest is John Lanman, a consumer products CEO/General Manager who cut his teeth in Marketing roles with well-known names like Thermos, Blyth Candle/Fragrances, and progressed to GM or CEO of Oriental Trading Co and Precious Moments. John and I both served as Board Members, and here John shares his thoughts on the importance of balancing growth initiatives within the context of resource constraints. 3:03 – The “forest versus the trees. As a CEO of a midsized business, you have to manage the forest. You cannot just get excited about your two or three favorite big, beautiful trees because that doesn't make the forest.” 5:03 – “To fuel a midsized business, to get it to the next level or the next inflection point – it's really never just one thing. It's a lot of little things you got to sort of line up… it is a multitude of non-sexy, smaller things…that in aggregate add up to significant overall growth for a company” 11:18 – “I've been amazed just listening a lot as a new leader. Most of the ideas for success within a company are within the walls of the company. It's just a matter of creating an environment amongst people that allows those ideas and thoughts to rise to the surface and sometimes you have to tease them out.” 12:27 – that's “how you captured the hearts and minds of the people that you are listening to, because now you're using their ideas.” 17:37 – “the reality is that execution is what carries the day… “ 18:32 – Thomas Edison quote “Vision without Execution is Hallucination.” 20:18 – “The most difficult thing (in) smaller P&L businesses… (is the) resource constraint. For example, they were behind in digital commerce, e commerce and they were way too legacy in traditional wholesale bricks and mortar selling, and they were very good at that. But as that world shrinks… we've had to move and evolve an organization and that involves people and skill sets and moving people around retraining, finding new people for very specific roles that didn't exist in the company before and I'd say that's probably the most difficult is getting the people and skill sets aligned with the challenges facing a business.” 24:27 – “Half the battle is getting your employees to trust you that you're a credible leader, and that only comes through talking to them, constantly listening to them.” 29:34 – “The rate at which change is occurring, the speed of change is increasing every year, every month… I think the next five or 10 years are going to be more exciting and more in need of seasoned leadership than the last five or 10 years.” 

In this week's episode, I talk through Hebrews 2:8. The world we live in looks like it's out of control, and to help ourselves to cope we create a story of how it all makes sense. The only problem is that rarely is Christ the ultimate author of life and reigning in our version of the story. Christians, we have to have Christ at the center of our lives.

But, the best part about it is that it works for JanusGraph, it works for Blazegraph, it works for all of these graph models that we've talked about, because we've got this divided graph community, but it was written to work with all graphs. [...] Today it's all, ‘Here's your Lego blocks and build one on your own. If you want to go ahead and fork Jupyter Notebook and figure out a way to get that D3 force-directed graph way out to pop up, have fun.' It's the first time that we've had a unified way across graph vendors and graph implementations to have a way to visualize your graph data in one tool that's open source.” – Denise Gosnell-------------------Episode Timestamps:(01:17): What open source data means to Denise(04:27): How Denise got interested in computer science(08:39): Denise's work on graph initiatives(14:30): How Denise's work at LDBC relates to SQL standards(23:43): The future of developer models(29:43): One question Denise wishes to be asked(34:05): Denise's advice for graph practitioners(37:37): Executive producer, Audra Montenegro's backstage takeaways-------------------Links:LinkedIn - Connect with DeniseThe Practitioner's Guide to Graph Data

You've seen us through a lot of different vehicles but this is who we are. And then lastly, they do job shadowing, they get to spend some time in all the different functional groups, and it ends with a lunch at the end of Green Week."Give people a chance to be the best version of themselves - Cris: "Skillset is one thing. I think the way people work is a different thing, and the way people want to work with others is a third component. You never know if somebody wasn't given the opportunity or if they've had the opportunity if they just didn't have the right timing and the right teammates to bring that opportunity to fruition. So I think for us it's always about giving them the ability, giving anybody on the team the ability to speak their mind, share their dreams, and also take a chance."Find more about Cris and connect with Club Colors in the links below:LinkedIn | Club Colors
