Why inclusive leadership is crucial in achieving our industry’s DE&I goals
Omnicom Media Group’s Kristiaan Kroon makes the case for DE&I-based leadership and its role in business success.
We’ve been through a lot over the past two years – understatement, I know! – but one of the more positive outcomes to have emerged has been our industry’s increased focus on diversity and inclusion.
When I began my media career 20 years ago, workplace cultures were built on conforming to Type A personalities: competitive, impatient, domineering and certainly not inclusive. There was no awareness of diversity and inclusion and their value. While change has been slow, it has been consistent and has accelerated in recent years.
Today, diversity and inclusion are key business priorities across the industry, with many businesses creating and refining the structures and processes for inclusion.
