The business world has been slow to reflect the gender and racial makeup of America today, but James says that's not due to a lack of ability to make it happen. In these excerpts from her interview, she discusses obstacles that women and people of color face in climbing the executive ladder and a future in which"inclusivity is just the order of the day."ou've done a lot of research into why the pipeline does not promote more women and people of color to executive leadership positions.

This is month 1 on the job, and she’s just getting warmed up ❤️❤️❤️

Probably because its putting competency first. This ideology would sacrifice the economy and millions of lives for the sake of their cultish ideas. Go away!

I really like her perspectives regarding diversity in the workplace. She's correct regarding the willingness to accept challenging assignments. You have to be willing to 'Sleuth' through absolute 'Chaos' in order to validate your Competence. Ignore the 'HATERS'!!!

Or people could start their own business and lead by example.

How about she denounce Trump as a SAT cheater and work to get Trump’s degree removed.

💯

How can you tell we have not made much progress?.. When 'Race+Gender' = the opportunity to have a position created by our oppressors means progress.

is she actually qualified or is because she's black?

Congratulations, Erika. Shatter the next glass ceiling.

It might be a curriculum problem too.... their prominate grad thinks “person woman man camera tv” is a tough test... and supposedly he was a top scholar there.... LoserTrump

She is 100% right.

And as a country, we are less than we could be if positions of power were as diverse as our population.

BS

you got your job didn’t you?

Completely in favor of this. i honestly just get confused when the majority of humans in the US are still white. Just a fact. 15% population is black. what do u do?

Sounds like she meets all the criteria the Democrats require for Vice President consideration.

Trump will shit that this wonderful lady is the Business dean !! 😂

Congratulations 🍾

Because they pick the best qualified people for the job. And not by skin color. 🤦
