The 4 Percent Problem: Exploring the Lack of Diversity in Leadership
In nearly every sector, Black inclusion in leadership stalls at around 4 percent. This phenomenon, described as The 4 Percent Problem, is likely no coincidence says journalist Jamal Simmons.
Based on the findings of his research, Simmons discusses the consistently low threshold that White participants set to determine when sufficient diversity has been achieved. He also explains the thin line that currently appears to exist between creating a diverse environment and sparking white flight.
Audiences will walk away with a clear guide for addressing diversity in the workplace, including how to:
- Rethink the “Pipeline Problem”
- Integrate diverse leaders
- Invest in HBCUs and their talent pools
