Lead Out Loud
Episode 2 | Moving beyond ‘diversity for diversity’s sake’
Are companies pulling back from inclusion—and what might it cost them?
With major firms like Google and Goldman Sachs retreating from their EDI efforts, the conversation around inclusive leadership is shifting. In this episode, Elham Fardad—senior EY leader and founder of Migrant Leaders—joins WBS expert Dr Dawn Eubanks to explore what happens when businesses treat inclusion as optional.
They unpack why diverse teams drive better decisions, how inclusion fuels innovation, and what real leadership looks like in a complex, global world in this episode of Lead Out Loud.
This is a call for clarity, not just commitment—because in today’s climate, inclusive leadership isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s essential.
