Subject: The Management Tip of the Day
What Allyship Really Looks Like. Calling yourself an ally—to any person of any underrepresented group—misses the point of allyship altogether. Instead of self-labeling, focus on action. For example, amplify the ideas of women and colleagues from underrepresented groups, challenge the status quo, search for new ways to be more inclusive, and use your influence to sponsor those who might otherwise be overlooked because of their identity. Next, remind yourself that being an ally is a journey, not a destination—it’s something to aspire to, not to claim. Constantly commit to learning about the experiences of other groups, fostering a growth mindset, welcoming feedback, and reflecting on your missteps. Ask curious questions about the experiences of others at work. Then, ask—don’t assume—what role you can play in providing support. Finally, remember that allyship is not about you. Rather, it’s about perpetuating the autonomy of those you’re allied with.
