The corporate world is stuck in a vicious cycle where ethnic
leadership talent is underutilised.
1) Insufficient ethnic representation at
leadership levels triggers a
perception of a glass ceiling
2) Managers are likely to overlook diverse
leadership qualities due to
affinity bias
3) Ethnic talent often adopts a “My work will
speak for me”-
approach that’s ineffective for leadership
Breaking this vicious cycle requires a
uniquely different approach.
Our mentors are corporate leaders with impressive track records coming from ethnic backgrounds themselves.
Through tailored workshops and mentoring circles we guide ethnic talent on the unwritten rules of corporate life.
We guide senior leadership in building successful sponsoring relationships with our programme participants.
