Diversity & Inclusion: Understanding The Need and Implementing Programs

Chris & Richard have an important conversation with Eric Pliner, CEO of YSC, an international leadership consulting firm. In the conversation, Eric discusses what constitutes effective inclusion, how to integrate diversity in the fabric and values of a company, and the ways in which these programs can significantly enhance a company's performance and profitability.  Eric goes beyond the so called "performative" actions many companies are engaging in today and shows how effective, sensitive and skillful authenticity are both the "right thing to do" and competitive advantages in contemporary business. You will not want to miss this rich, thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation. In The Endcap, Richard and Chris discuss the changes in the movie business, what it means for licensing and companies like Disney.
