LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Helping gender-diverse teams work better together, to drive the innovation and growth that’s vital in today’s tough economic climate.

THE ISSUES WE HELP SOLVE

Our workforces are more diverse now than ever, encompassing men and women, gay and straight, cis, trans and non-binary; and of course every gender also encompasses many different races, ethnicities, faiths, ages, abilities, socio-economic backgrounds and more. And that diversity is an incredibly valuable thing.

But many leaders are unaware that there’s a big ideology gap opening up, which is especially strong amongst Gen Z. While women are becoming increasingly progressive, the majority of men are feeling worried or even resentful that we’ve already gone too far. And this has a major impact on the way teams work together, and how leaders behave in all areas of their job.

THE DATA

Research shows that more diverse teams are more creative, innovative, profitable, valuable and find recruitment and retention easier. But a lot of the DEI work that’s being done with the best intentions is not always working, and is even exacerbating this gender ideology gap and the barriers and backlash it brings.
