Why is it important to talk about privilege at work? That was the topic of the HBR article that prompted me to reach out to Lee Jourdan, retired Chevron executive who was most recently head of Diversity and Inclusion, to discuss the topic on the Greatness podcast. Lee shares his personal journey - as a black man growing up in a white community, as a West Point graduate, and as an energy executive - and how these experiences shaped his thinking on privilege. I especially appreciate Lee's story regarding the privilege men share in male-dominated industries. I think these are critical conversations to have and Lee shares some really great tips for how to start.
