Methodology
Our approach: how this site is written
Last updated:
Everything on this site comes from CRW Diversity's own description of its work, Celeste Warren's published ideas, or a cited third-party source.
The Equity Leadership Brief site is published by CRW Diversity, so its guidance reflects one practitioner's perspective. We state that plainly, judge comparisons on stated criteria, and never present this site as independent.
How are this site's recommendations formed?
Recommendations start from Celeste Warren's core question: what within the organization helps people succeed, and what may be getting in their way? Guidance is then checked against the six elements of the Equity in Action Model and against the needs of a senior executive reader.
