In 2022, Out & Equal launched the Transgender and Nonbinary Executive Leadership Circle to unite C-Suite and executive leaders from major public and private sector workplaces to convene, build community, and share experiential knowledge, emerging practices, and career insights. Through that work and meaningful discussions with transgender and nonbinary executive leaders, we’ve developed resources, tools, and programming designed to foster workplace cultures that empower every employee to thrive.
Our work to facilitate workplace inclusion continues with the release of Out & Equal’s new report, “Where the Margins Meet the Corner Office: Five Leadership Insights from Transgender and Nonbinary Executives.” Key insights from the groundbreaking report are informed by programming and focus groups with transgender and nonbinary executives.
Top 5 Takeaways:
- It’s lonely at the top. Transgender and nonbinary executive experiences highlight the need for innovative talent development strategies.
- We’re not just transgender or nonbinary executives. We are experts in our field.
- Bias threatens business: Smart businesses invest in anti-bias education because they understand the fiscal benefits of inclusion.
- Untangling the complexity of one identity can mean pulling on the threads of others.
- Transgender and nonbinary executives need to cultivate influence, practice authenticity, and learn effective communication.
