Getting Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable (feat. Nima George)
from The Enlightened Executive Hosted by Susan Drumm
Most every business wants to be a beacon of diversity and inclusion. Yet, with the incoming workforce being more diverse than ever, why does this goal seem increasingly hard to achieve? It appears that with embedded biases, and hesitancies toward being viewed as too direct when asking minorities to speak up, encouraging and amplifying diversity down through the ranks of an organization has become a struggle. So, how do you successfully pass on high-level company values to mid-level managers? Nima George seems to have discovered the answer. She is the Director of Resources at Google, where she oversees strategic infrastructure planning for computer and network resources and efficiency management for Google ads, commerce, payments, and engineering. However, as one of the DEI leads for the Google Ads department, much of her attention focuses on nurturing her team's minds and amplifying their diverse voices. In the latest episode of The Enlightened Executive podcast, Nima shares the importance of creating a workforce and culture that prioritizes inclusion, belonging, and a space for people to thrive. She also discusses the most common challenges that leaders face when building and motivating cognitively diverse teams. Do you tend to stay within the walls of comfort, when it comes to expanding the diversity on your team? In what ways can you grow beyond it? Build an environment where your team feels that they have the support and space to thrive, and you'll blow the doors open on what you are all able to accomplish.
