Diversity Is Diverse

Since we conducted our last Global Board Diversity Tracker in 2018, the world has changed dramatically. The need for diversity has only increased: The global pandemic has proven that nontraditional types of leadership skills—be they increased ability, courage, more emotional intelligence, or comfort with a digital-first approach—are needed more than ever. At the same time, a painful and public global reckoning with a culture of embedded racism and discrimination has put increasing pressure on companies to make quick and significant changes to their leadership teams, both inside and outside of the boardroom.
