CONCEPTS:
One of the main things that prevent development in a organization and that is the glass ceiling effect. This is were people (mostly women and minorities) can see the top positions in the company, but are unable to get reach those positions.
EMOTIONAL HOOK:
It's hard to sit back and watch as people who work hard for a company only to get to a certain point but never get any higher because you don't "fit" the ideal of what has previously been in that position.
KEY POINTS:
Make sure that when you are interviewing, promoting, or even talking to employees, it's good to remember that just because they are not what you are use to they can still bring new ideas to the plate and just because they are different does not mean they can't do the job.
FACILITATED QUESTION:
How would you feel if you (a white male) walked into an interview knowing that you were qualified for the position. While in the interview you realized that a man has never had the position you were applying for, and because they did not want to change you did not get the job?
