Recently, I reflected during our company’s Black History Month event and one idea stayed with me.In 1926, Carter G. Woodson launched Negro History Week not just to celebrate Black history, but to correct omission. It was about ensuring Black contributions were documented and recognized as foundational to the American story, not supplemental.That purpose resonates beyond history.As a product leader, I’m reminded daily: • When voices are excluded, outcomes are incomplete. • When representation is missing, systems fall short. • When inclusion is intentional, impact is stronger.In our workplaces, inclusion shows up in who is heard, who is represented in the data, and who shapes decisions.As we reflect this month, I’m asking: • Whose voice is missing? • Are we treating inclusion as a moment or as infrastructure?Because honoring history should shape how we lead today.hashtag#BlackHistoryMonth hashtag#Leadership hashtag#Inclusion hashtag#WorkplaceCulture hashtag#dfw hashtag#DFWAIRPORT hashtag#product hashtag#ERG #hashtag#ProjectManagement
