Walgreens CEO Roz Brewer to Leaders: Put Your Phones Away and Listen to EmployeesUploaded 09-12-2110 Dec 2021---Brewer, CEO of Walgreens Boots Alliance and one of only two Black female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, says inclusion and equity are about making employees feel seen and heard.HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Brewer in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about: • How inclusion and equity—making employees feel seen and heard—are just as important as diversity metrics• How to ensure that employees feel empowered and love where they work• The importance of learning a business thoroughly, even if it means a sideways career move.When Brewer accepted a lower-level position at Walmart when she left Kimberly-Clark as group president, some people questioned the move -- but she says she needed to start there to learn about retail. “I was in a learning mode, but I took a step back to get ahead,” she says. “That's when my career began to really explode.”This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

Before Tackling Systemic Racism, You Need to Dig Into Your Own BiasesUploaded 04-12-225 Dec 2022---Digging entails identifying your social identities (which might include “woman” or “man” or “nonbinary” and “Hispanic” or “Black” or “Chinese”) and researching the power dynamics associated with each one. Some identities are imbued with social power; some have been historically marginalized. You need to recognize your blind spots about those dynamics in order to build authentic, trusting connections with others and ultimately act collectively to make organizations more welcoming and equitable, says Tina Opie, Associate Professor of Management at Babson College and co-author of "Shared Sisterhood".00:00 “Shared Sisterhood” is a radically optimistic philosophy on how to dismantle systemic inequity.00:45 It’s made up of three processes: Dig, Bridge, and Collective Action.02:10 Let’s dig into Dig.04:26 Digging can be difficult, no matter what your background.06:45 Having a defensive reaction to digging is a totally natural reaction.09:40 How much digging do I need to do before I can start building bridges and taking collective action?
