Is the Workplace the Perfect Place to Talk About Race? with Gina Greenlee and Margaret Greenberg For the EVOLution of Business

    • Business

The workplace is often one of the only places we interact with diverse groups, one of few places in society that still maintains civility and also a place where there is an expectation to continue to learn and grow if you want to stay relevant. So yes, the workplace is the perfect place to talk about race according to Gina Greenlee and Margaret Greenberg, co-authors of the forthcoming book "The Business of Race."

Tune in to this episode to learn why stumbling through conversations on race is better than avoiding the discussion, how to use conflict as a tool for transformation, how to pass the "Kumbaya Test" as an ally, and how to take the management processes you already use in your business and apply them toward creating racial equity in your workplace.
