Today’s topic: Why CEOs Don’t Hire Black Managers.
Catapult Leaders CEO Darryl L. Mobley and guest Stefanie K. Johnson, Ph.D. cover "Why CEOs Don’t Hire Black Managers," and answer a ton of other questions, including…
1. Why aren’t there more Black Americans in entry-level professional positions and throughout the management pipeline – from entry level up through senior management?
2. Why have so many companies done a much better job increasing representation of females in management – while doing a very poor job gaining meaningful representation of Black managers?
3. What are the biases held by CEOs and senior managers that are holding back equity-of-opportunities for Black managers?
4. What are some of the traits of a person who is a great manager of diverse employees?
5. What are some of the biggest mistakes made by companies when it comes to onboarding Black talent into entry-level professional positions?
6. What is the one most important thing you would do to increase diverse talent at entry-level manager positions?
7. Why do CEOs think that they’ve been unsuccessful at meaningfully increasing their number of Black management hires?
We also discuss what People of Color and women need to "get over" in order to seize opportunities, and what you can do to make the world a better, more equitable place.
