PooleProof Wisdom: Conversations Featuring David A. Peacock, President and Chief Operating Officer, Schnuck Markets

Diversity, equity, and inclusion seems on everyone's lips these days, particularly  business leaders who, on the heels of social justice protests, realized they could no longer ignore the obvious.  It sounds like good news, but too many were interested in monetizing the movement and not truly committing to change.   

There's been an exceptional increase in how many have gotten on the apparent DEI bandwagon, reflecting what they claim is their commitment to  DEI in advertising and other programming, but not in boardrooms and C-suites in any significant way beyond the symbolism such companies and brands are selling.  

There are exceptions of course, like Procter & Gamble, and in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, Schnuck Markets.    In this episode, I speak with the company's President and Chief Operating Officer, Dave Peacock, about the company's efforts and how business leaders must walk the talk when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
