Welcome to the online tool hub for Greatheart Leader Labs.
So what's this about?
38% of American employees are white men.
4% of U.S. employees are white men who lead.
White men hold six million leadership positions in America.
If 1,000 people representing the demographic mix of the world's population met in a ballroom, 1 would be a white American man in a leadership job (six million among six billion).

So our customers, employees, shareholders and, increasingly, our superiors differ from us in race, gender, and other human qualities. We must learn to lead more effectively among the 98% of Americans (and 99.9% of humankind) who are not white American men who lead for a living.
The math is simple. But the relationships, knowledge and skills to lead successfully among diverse humans are hard-earned and powerful assets.
This website and Greatheart Leader Labs are the only expert resources focused on equipping white men to lead more effectively on diversity.
Question: What's in diversity for a white who leads and why is it important for his organization?
You would not be visiting this website if you weren't already a leader who pays attention to diversity's challenges: no more avoiding corrective feedback for fear of the race or gender 'card' begin played; no more sitting on the sidelines when hiring and promotion decisions struggle with the diversity vs. qualifications tension; no more suffering from political correctness, where respect and candor collide; no more ignoring prejudice in customer service. There are problems to solve.
And today is also the day to seize the essential and vital opportunity that diversity presents:
Find, grow, and retain
the talented employees your organization requires
To win, serve, and keep
the diverse customers who buy what you provide.
The bottom line: your efficacy, your confidence to lead on diversity, through right action for the right results among 100% of the stakeholders to your success.
That's why Greatheart is in business, equipping you to transform the way you lead.
