The Broken Pipeline

The corporate world is stuck in a vicious cycle where ethnocultural leadership talent is underutilised.

  • Difficult to attract: ethnocultural talent often shies away from companies that lack ethnocultural diversity.

  • Difficult to retain: lack of senior ethnocultural representation can trigger the perception of a glass ceiling.

  • Difficult to advance: ethnocultural talent is often overlooked due to similarity bias in current leadership.

Breaking this vicious cycle requires a unique approach.
