Episode 16 - The Elephant in the Boardroom: Confronting Nepotism in the Workplace - A CEO's Perspective

April 23, 2023 • LaKeysha Cobbs-Hayes, Sonya Songer, Acacia Smith and LaVonne Shields • Episode 16

In this episode of True CEO, we tackle a sensitive but pressing issue in the workplace - nepotism. Nepotism, or the practice of favoring family members or friends in employment, is a common but often hidden practice that can have negative effects on company culture and performance.

We discuss the impact of nepotism on employee morale, diversity and inclusion efforts, and ultimately on the bottom line. Our guest shares practical steps that CEOs and other leaders can take to ensure fairness and transparency in hiring and promotion decisions.

We also delve into the legal and ethical considerations surrounding nepotism, including potential conflicts of interest and legal liabilities.

Whether you're a CEO or an employee, this episode provides valuable insights on how to address the elephant in the boardroom and create a more equitable workplace culture. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on confronting nepotism in the workplace.
