Each week Kevin McCarthy and Likky Lavji facilitate authentic conversations with leaders just like you to help you discover what it takes from being a manager who is good at getting stuff done to being a great leader who inspires others to do their best.

Today we're going to be taking a deep dive on the topic of diversity - a complex and important issue that affects all of us in different ways. Specifically, we'll be diving into the topics of stereotypes and differences, and how they impact our perceptions of those around us.

One aspect of diversity that can be particularly challenging is the presence of stereotypes. Stereotyping involves making assumptions about people based on their membership in a certain group, and can lead to unfair treatment and missed opportunities for those who don't fit these stereotypes. In today's episode, we'll be discussing the harm that stereotypes can cause and how we can work to combat them.

We'll also be exploring the role that differences play in our interactions with others. While differences can be a source of misunderstanding and conflict, they can also be a source of growth and learning. By acknowledging and valuing our differences, we can create a more inclusive society where everyone feels valued and respected.

We explore this and more in our Awareness Advantage podcast. Check out our episodes, and go from being a good manager--to a great leader!
