Relative Return Unplugged: Leadership in a changing world – Trump’s influence on DEI and beyond
Donald Trump’s presidency has already begun reshaping the corporate and political landscape in the US, with executive orders rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and clean energy efforts.
In this episode of the Relative Return Unplugged podcast, associate professor Nathan Eva from Monash Business School discusses the global implications of Trump’s “me-first agenda” on organisational culture, including within Australia.
We explore the risks of deprioritising diversity, and how Australian leaders can resist these trends, as well as what organisations can do to stay committed to fairness, equity, and sustainability amid political and social upheaval.
Tune in to hear Eva’s insights on the leadership qualities needed to navigate this challenging new era.
