We built NOBL to help business leaders accelerate “meaningful” change. In light of the murder of George Floyd and subsequent protests, that word, “meaningful,” has been a focal point. Meaningful change that doesn’t advocate for the dismantling of systemic inequality and oppression isn’t, in fact, meaningful.
We know that as a leader, you may feel wholly unequipped in this moment. Your job description likely did not explicitly mention hastening needed societal changes. We genuinely feel for you and admit that we, too, your organizational design experts, are still grappling with what this means for us and how we serve you best. But as a leader, it’s your job (not those around you who are people of color) to sit in the discomfort, and ensure that ultimately, every member of your team feels safe and encouraged to do their best work.
