This podcast discussion synthesizes the core arguments and actionable insights from Dr. Barry Barresi's recent LinkedIn article and his broader social entrepreneurship and innovation expertise. Dr. Barresi argues that social enterprises face an intensifying attack on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles. He asserts that embracing "Inclusive Excellence" is not merely a matter of social responsibility but a crucial driver of organizational growth, innovation, financial sustainability, and long-term impact. He calls for social enterprises to actively reaffirm and enhance their commitment to DEI, embedding it deeply within their structures and strategies and countering the current backlash by demonstrating its tangible benefits and resilience.
