People of color and women remain woefully underrepresented in top leadership positions across industries. Yet the doors to power and authority in organizations are slowly opening in large part due to the more aggressive promotion of the “value-added” nature of diversity to organizational effectiveness. Inclusive organizations benefit from the diversity of perspectives and backgrounds that women and people of color offer to organizational decision making, innovation, and growth. However, not much is understood about their unique experiences. This commentary focuses on the Outsider Within experiences of underrepresented leaders, workers who find themselves as both the “Other” and as a leader in their workplace.

作为“他者”领导

有色人种和女性在各行各业的最高领导职位中的代表性仍然严重不足。然而，组织中权力和权威的大门正在慢慢打开，这在很大程度上是由于更积极地将多样性的“增值”性质推广到组织有效性。包容性组织受益于女性和有色人种为组织决策、创新和发展提供的视角和背景的多样性。然而，人们对他们独特的经历知之甚少。本评论重点关注代表性不足的领导者的局外人经历，即发现自己既是“他者”又是工作场所领导者的员工。
