Disruption is innovation that breaks
with continuity and interrupts the status quo,
to utterly transform the way we do old things,
and to start doing new things
that our competition has not even considered.
Disruptive Inclusion drives innovation with relational accountability.

My life was disrupted by inclusion when I was 12.
Chuck in 1966, ‘voluntold’ with Head Start by his very intentional mother, Mary.

Dysfunctional Talent Guardrails
Any talent decision influenced by the assumption that a woman or person of color (or anyone outside a normative group) is less qualified because they differ from white men (or anyone inside the norm)
Intent-impact conflict and disengagement, fueled by pre-conscious bias and a lack of emotional intelligence
The fear of discoverable risk stifles the safety and confidence we must possess to lead through D&I with respect and candor
For example:

Leadership Limitations Around Diversity
Diversity is often perceived to exclude people in normative groups
White male (and other normative) leaders are under-engaged with global diversity and inclusion
Challenges with gender savvy trouble male leaders from/in nations with static and hierarchical gender norms
For example:
#1 Master your executive D&I narrative.
Organize your learning into stories that have a D&I influence objective. Focus on safety.
Target your narrative for the right audience and moment.
Who is doing this? Bill Von Hoene at Exelon, Rich Goldberg at Cisco, Enrique Ostale at Wal-Mart Latin America, Chris Brassell at PwC, Rob Baker at Mercer
Key Concept: Advanced Authenticity
#2 Focus on building your leadership brand through global D&I.

Recognizing and motivating diverse employees 31 61 30

#3 Drive results with measured influence.
Approach D&I metrics with humility, a sense of adventure, and clear influence objectives. e.g. Janese Murray, Exelon
Invest in measures that executives originate, and that show revenue growth, with the talent value proposition tied in. e.g. Cory Gundberg, Wal-Mart ISD
Transform the scaling strategy – from D&I at the center, to vector resourcing and distributed budgeting.
