If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. We try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We encourage comments, critiques, and questions. We expect our community to be a safe space for respectful, constructive, and thought-provoking discussion. We reserve the right to remove or turn off comments at our discretion. We do not tolerate bullying, name-calling, or abusive language related to identity, including race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, age, or region; spam; copyright violation; extreme profanity; or p*rnography.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T12:22:10.972032+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387"},"episode":{"title":"Before Tackling Systemic Racism, You Need to Dig Into Your Own Biases","slug":"before-tackling-systemic-racism-you-need-to-dig-into-your-own-biases","published_at":"2026-06-17T11:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387/before-tackling-systemic-racism-you-need-to-dig-into-your-own-biases","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/VG7122071385.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/VG7122071385.mp3","summary":"Before Tackling Systemic Racism, You Need to Dig Into Your Own Biases 5 Dec 2022 --- Digging entails identifying your social identities (which might include “woman” or “man” or “nonbinary” and “Hispanic” or “Black” or “Chinese”) and researching the power dynamics associated with each one. Some identities are imbued with social power; some have been historically marginalized. You need to recognize your blind spots about those dynamics in order to build authentic, trusting connections with others and ultimately act collectively to make organizations more welcoming and equitable, says Tina Opie, Associate Professor of Management at Babson College and co-author of \"Shared Sisterhood\". 00:00 “Shared Sisterhood” is a radically optimistic philosophy on how to dismantle systemic inequity. 00:45 It’s made up of three processes: Dig, Bridge, and Collective Action. 02:10 Let’s dig into Dig. 04:26 Digging can be difficult, no matter what your background. 06:45 Having a defensive reaction to digging is a totally natural reaction. 09:40 How much digging do I need to do before I can start building bridges and taking collective action?
