In this powerful conversation, John Kandray interviews Drury (Dru) Fulcher, a DEI leader working within a local management entity in North Carolina. They dive deep into the evolving challenges of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in today's workplace climate, the quiet rollback of DEI initiatives, and what it truly means to create a culture of engagement, empathy, and trust. Dru emphasizes the necessity of leadership consistency, emotional intelligence, and redefining "soft skills" as core leadership competencies. Their exchange sheds light on how organizations can retain talent by building meaningful, values-aligned cultures—even amid systemic shifts and organizational grief.
