Top 10 Leadership Keynote Speakers of Color
Did you know corporations that identified as more diverse were 35% more likely to outperform their competitors, according to a McKinsey survey? Or that companies with diverse management teams led to 19% higher revenue, according to the Boston Consulting Group. Despite the many benefits that leaders of color bring to business, a New York Times survey found only 20 percent of leaders identified as a person of color.
