Promoting diversity and creating an inclusive culture would benefit business outcomes and performance.
Promoting diversity in leadership positions would require setting clear goals and benchmarks and addressing biases that may be preventing underrepresented communities from advancing in their careers.

An inclusive culture would help to retain employees and attract customers who align with the company's values.
Increasing diversity in leadership positions was crucial for businesses to remain competitive and relevant. Organizations need to set clear goals and benchmarks, address biases, and create an inclusive culture to promote diversity in leadership. By implementing these strategies, businesses could create a diverse and inclusive culture that would benefit both employees and customers.
