In this new post: "Driving Diversity and Inclusion—the Role for Chairs and CEOs," Russell Reynolds Associates' Diversity & Inclusion Practice team describes how board chairs and CEOs can drive diversity & inclusion in the workplace - at all levels, i.e., the board, management, and general workforce - based on its interviews with 57 directors and executives.
