As a parent, witnessing your child encounter barriers can ignite a passion for change that resonates far beyond the confines of home. That's precisely what happened to Nathan Coe, CEO of AutoTrader, when he saw his daughters confront gender biases. On our show, Nathan walks us through his awakening to the realities of diversity and inclusion, illustrating how these revelations have transformed AutoTrader into a beacon of equality, offering lessons that extend to us all about the essence of leadership in today's ever-evolving workplace.With roots firmly planted in the working class, Nathan's journey to the helm of AutoTrader is a narrative of ambition, defying societal expectations, and the relentless pursuit of a culture steeped in positivity and social mobility. In our intimate conversation, he peels back the layers of traditional CEO roles, advocating for a leadership style that prizes trust and personal connection over top-down commands. This approach, he argues, is not only more aligned with today's societal needs but also carves a path for a new era of empowered, engaged teams and leaders who truly listen.The synergy between diversity and commercial success is a tune Nathan knows by heart. AutoTrader stands as a testament to the potent blend of CEO activism with business strategy, demonstrating the genuine integration of diversity into the DNA of a company's objectives. This episode peels back the curtain on how diversity and inclusion are much more than just buzzwords but rather, the driving force behind a thriving, forward-thinking enterprise. Nathan's insights challenge us to consider how embedding these values into our businesses is not just a moral imperative but a strategic edge in a landscape that demands balance, innovation, and a deep respect for every individual's contribution.🎧 Check our podcast audio here: www.dialglobal.org/podcast📱 Join our Membership to access our DIAL Global Community Network app https://community.dialglobal.org/share/ljg71bsbWLspcnU-?utm_source=manual📩 Contact us at [email protected] or www.dialglobal.org/contact-us🌐 Visit us on www.dialglobal.orgContinue the conversation on LinkedIn
