Alt Marketing School
#125 - Empowering a generation of diverse leaders with Dawn Morton-Young
November 7, 2022
One root cause for failure in diverse leadership development is the general ineffective state of leadership development. We talk to Alt Marketing School graduate Dawn. She helps corporates by coaching diverse leaders, enabling them to navigate better the internal and external barriers facing them in their professional and career development. First, we look at the hiring stage, inner bias, and how managers and organisations can do better at such a crucial stage of the employee journey. Secondly, Dawn shares some examples of generational and societal psychological imprints that impact minority leaders. Especially some of the engrained ones people may not even consciously recognise. We dive deep into the importance of company culture, and ways organisations can take targeted action to improve career development to support minority leaders within their team. Finally, we explore the importance of protecting balance, boundaries and the well-being of their team.
