Are you dismayed that so many US companies have gone quiet about their environmental efforts and equity work? Has the Go Woke/Go Broke Blues discouraged you from showing your PRIDE? Is your HR department under indictment for racial discrimination?
Have no fear, the MIT Sloan Management Review is here!
Let self-designated Expert™ Andrew Winston, Author/Speaker/Advisor and Driver of Change help you recapture the feelings of righteousness that swelled your heart before a parade of corporations immolated themselves on the altar of virtue signaling.
Bud Light, Target, Cracker Barrel, Disney, Gillette, Pepsi, Meta, John Deere … we loved them all.
Winston mourns the implosion of the fads that drove his career. “The reasons for the sustainability malaise are clear: aggressive social media campaigns against so-called woke companies, and direct pressure from the U.S. federal government to stop diversity and climate efforts. Aside from rare exceptions, talking about diversity has almost completely stopped. A Gravity Research study found that from 2024 to 2025, use of the term “DEI” in Fortune 100 company reports dropped by 98%.”
His solution? Stop focusing on ROI! Don’t let heartless business metrics dominate your corporate strategy. “Businesses and their leaders should act because we need to, have to, and want to.”
There you have it, straight from an editorial board member of the Sloan Management Review. Would a man who studied sustainability at Princeton, Columbia, and Yale then built business models for MTV steer you wrong?
Thousands of social justice warriors fed on DEI, ESG, BDS, and Sustainability at our leading universities are counting you to revive their sputtering careers and return meaning to their lives.
