However, it no longer works because the business problems we are facing today require moving beyond the exclusionary framework of the past. Leaders nowadays struggle to find reliable guidance because everyone around them is in the same situation. By applying the old broken playbook, leaders have left behind people who have the potential to shape businesses for the future. In this episode, JeVon talks about his new book Modern Leader. He explains why the old playbook is broken and why modern leaders should embrace a new evolution in leadership that focuses on inclusivity. It’s time for true people-first leadership that goes beyond the narrow and exclusionary frameworks of the past. Evolution in leadership means changing old ways of thinking, recognizing the diversity and creativity of different people, and providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of gender, race, level of education, and socioeconomic status. To solve diversity problems, modern leaders should start creating a welcoming culture and shift from hiring culture fits to hiring culture adds.
