25: Gender Diversity & Equality, with Sangita Kasturi

Brilliance: Leadership Learning

Equality in the workplace is critical for innovation, so how can we make sure we're not excluding others as a result of specific inclusion efforts? Sangita Kasturi, a diversity and inclusion expert and founder/CEO of Action Inclusion, discusses gender diversity while helping us remember the importance of including men in the conversation. We chat about perceptions of both men and women, why recognizing bias in all directions is critical to truly achieving equality in the workplace AND at home, and what truly inclusive behavior looks like.
