Laura Morgan Roberts, Ph.D., a professor at the University of
Virginia’s Darden School of Business, is an editor of the recent
book 'Race, Work, and Leadership: New Perspectives on the Black
Experience'. She has studied race in the workplace extensively.
With attention on racial disparities sparked by killings and then
protests, the time is right for organizations to hear her message.
Morgan Roberts shares insight on why some organizations and leaders
resort to silence instead of speaking about racism, why it’s easier
to talk about diversity and inclusion than about race, the
qualities of an effective public statement, and what follow-through
after the statement looks like.
