21st Century Values

Judith Katz, the Executive Vice-President at Kaleel Jamison Consulting Company has written an interesting article on their blog. It talks about 21st century versus 20th century (19th?) corporate values, stressing that today's young people joining companies deserve and to some extent expect that they shouldn't have to be trailblazers of diversity or inclusion. I'm especially interested in Judith's mention of Inclusion, as she's been one of the Institute's leaders in working on our statement of the Principles of Inclusion, which I can't link to because it's in the Document Repository on our website, and at this point is accessible only to 'registered users'.
So take this as a reminder to register!

Judith points out that "In order to close the generation gaps, organizations need to develop a more inclusive mindset—one in which everyone’s voice is heard and valued, where a new team member can speak frankly with others no matter what their rank or tenure."

Be sure to read the whole article, it's good food for thought. There are several other interesting posts on the JKCG Blog, and in particular I want to comment on one of Fred Miller's posts in another article.
