Winning at Failing? - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion fires EVERYWHERE

May 12, 2019

LaCroix Wins, Erickson Living Restructure, Snap Lays off Men, Russell Reynolds talks CDOs and Royal Caribbean with a Twist This week... Torin and Julie award the very first Crazy and the King Best of the Worst (or D/I Jackass?) Award to LaCroix Water and their parent company National Beverage Corporation. Then they get really deep into Snap and how layoffs affect diversity when diversity is already non-existent in a workforce. What are your thoughts on the importance of Chief Diversity Officers? Julie and Torin talk through some of the learnings from Russell Reynolds's new report. Finally, Royal Caribbean had a big customer with a disability fail, but Julie wants them to pick themselves up and keep at it, just better than before. Prepare yourself for Crazy and the King!
