\\u201cMy advice \\u2026 is to be very intentional about \\u2026 creating expectations for the business case for what you\\u2019re going to achieve when it comes to DE&I.\\u201d \\u2014 Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.

\\xa0

\\u201cThere is a way to show how good DEI is not just morally good but it\\u2019s good for business. You\\u2019ve got to make that case and hold yourself accountable for meeting the metrics that show progress or a lack of progress.\\u201d \\u2014 Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.

\\u201cWhile I\\u2019m sensitive to the fact that people resist change. \\u2026 But, we have also shown as a result of the last three years that we can be pretty darn agile when we have to.\\u201d \\u2014 Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.
