If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

Leadership is too often framed as constantly active, interventionist, busy. Good leadership knows when to do nothing, to not intervene, to get out of the way of people who are excellent and let them do what they do best. Inaction can be just as important as action.
