Lead With That What Lily Gladstone’s Golden Globe Award Win Can Teach Us About the Value of Representation
In this episode of Lead with That, Ren and Allison discuss the leadership lessons learned from Lily Gladstone’s 2024 Golden Globe Award win for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama. When Gladstone made history as the first indigenous actor to be distinguished with that honor in the award’s 81-year history, she opened her acceptance speech in the Blackfeet language to further honor and represent her heritage in a powerful way.
As her speech and award win has brought the topic of representation and its importance back into the forefront of social conversations, many are considering representation in the context of their organizations. Ren and Allison explore what representation means, why it matters in the workspace, and how leaders can use their influence to help their organizations find power in its value.
