Great leadership is about doing what’s right, even when it’s not the easiest path. Costco has shown us exactly that by standing firm on their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

🚨 Leadership Change at Starbucks!

Reflecting on my time as a leader at Starbucks, I can see how their mission shaped everything we did, from daily tasks to broader store strategies. The focus on nurturing human connection—whether through a simple cup of coffee, a conversation, or being part of the community—was at the core of our work. We didn’t just serve drinks; we built relationships. Getting to know customers by name, remembering their favorite orders, and even learning a bit about their personal stories wasn’t just good service—it helped us grow as individuals. It sharpened our communication, built our empathy, and made our work feel truly meaningful. The mission wasn’t just words on a wall—it guided how we created positive experiences for both customers and ourselves every day. #Leadership #StarbucksJourney #CustomerConnection #EmpathyInAction #MissionDriven #BuildingRelationships #HumanConnection #GrowthThroughService #MeaningfulWork #CoffeeCommunity #CustomerExperience #LeadershipDevelopment

As we start 2025, this is the type of leadership we need to see. Costco and so many other organizations know the immense value inclusion and belonging bring to the workplace and workforce. We won’t be pushed backwards by inflammatory rhetoric and false narratives. We are committed and focused to pushing forward and making businesses stronger.   Read the story here: https://lnkd.in/eqpkngpG   #BusinessOfBelonging

If you’ve been in this game for a long time, you’ll recognize that name changes are common. As the article mentioned, DEI has only been the “name du jour” since 2020. When I started this work in the early 90s, it was racial equity. It was and will always be about equity, regardless of what you call it. Diversity and inclusion are a by product of equity. I told someone recently my work has always focused on organizational and leadership development with an equity lens. That will not change even as we rebrand the name of our company to The Perry Group. Let’s keep doing the work and moving the needle steadily to get results. #racialequity #corporategovernance #organizAtionaldevelopment #leadershipdevelopment https://lnkd.in/effhKbwi

Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant advises that success comes from focusing on your strengths and not trying to master everything. He shared that the best advice he received during his transition from chief brand officer to CEO was to become a "black belt in marketing" and a "brown belt in everything else." Tresvant emphasizes the importance of empowering team members and recognizing that great leadership involves knowing when to admit what you don’t know. https://lnkd.in/dhv9DciN
