Abstract: Abstract Leaders’ behaviors, language, labels, and management can all hinder diversity efforts. Leaders’ inability to understand and accept that what they intended is not what occurs offers them room for growth through DQ. While allyship, anti-racism, and inclusive language’s intent may be to improve diversity efforts, they sometimes hinder diversity efforts. The key question for those who are seeking to be allies, anti-racist, and use inclusive language is who does their action benefit? If their actions are only benefitting themselves, they need to reassess their motives. Many leaders espouse their EQ ability without evidence of diversity success. Integrating DQ alongside EQ will help leaders as they seek to succeed with diversity efforts.
