Do you possess a genuine commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion (D&I) in your company but have questions about how to best proceed? In this practical guide, corporate operations strategist Leslie Short offers succinct, down-to-earth advice to help leaders move their outdated workplace cultures forward.
