The New CDO Survival Guide:
Tenured CDOs Share Their Advice with New and Aspiring DEI Leaders


One of the most challenging jobs in business is Chief Diversity Officer. Why? Because they are responsible for leading what is likely the most significant cultural shift in the history of the organization. Diversity is a management strategy, and as the DEI landscape continues to change, new priorities, responsibilities, and social justice issues are forcing CDOs to evolve their skillsets.
 
The Chief Diversity Officer cannot be a “solution” to diversity, but rather the lightning rod, program leader, and strategist guiding the management team. This requires the person stepping into the role to build familiarity and trust throughout the organization from the start. Join our webinar to learn what to expect from the challenging position of CDO, and how to set yourself up to be efficient, effective, and successful.
