No diversity in leadership.
Very few Black leaders. Actions speak louder than words. I mean, come on, it's 2022.
It's always the pipeline excuse, but a less qualified white male with connections will be given senior leadership roles and allowed to fail over and over, with the goalposts constantly being moved.
Do better. At this point, not doing anything signals that leadership knows the problem and just doesn't care.
