Change must happen. Confronting underrepresentation and inequality needs much more than words. It demands action. For organizations, that action is driving diversity and inclusion, starting at the top.
Our commitment
The global population needs more opportunities to develop diverse leaders in organizations to drive change from within—only then will ideas and actions gain momentum.
This is the Leadership U for Humanity vision—to be a catalyst for the diverse leaders of tomorrow. Leaders who bring diverse backgrounds and experiences to the table. Leaders who champion conscious inclusion. Who celebrate and empower difference. Because diverse organizations are just better. They make better decisions, grow faster, expand more, and are more profitable. Benefitting not only businesses but underrepresented people across the world.
Leadership U for Humanity, through the Korn Ferry Charitable Foundation, combines the best of Korn Ferry’s experience in developing leaders with support and guidance from our community partners and corporate sponsors.
