How ERGs Can Regain Their Power with Janice Brathwaite

Many ERGs struggle to gain the executive support and permission they believe they need to deliver meaningful, high-impact results. Janice Brathwaite, a leader from the original Black Caucus Group at Xerox in the 1960s, brings firsthand experience from the earliest days of ERG predecessors. She explains how these groups built real power and influence without budgets or formal authority by acting with courage, using available resources, and applying personal agency to address business-critical issues. This episode shows how to stop waiting for permission and start using the power you already have to drive results that get executive attention.
