🎧 5 Minute Insights: How Trump-Supporting Managers Weaken Inclusion
The Top 5 DEI Podcast
We hope you enjoy today's podcast and feel free to send us a text
Political perceptions in leadership impact workplace dynamics—especially for Black employees.
Our latest 5 Minute Insights segment unpacks groundbreaking research from Dr. Darryl Rice & team, revealing how managers perceived as Trump supporters create more challenging work environments for Black professionals.
🔹 Key Takeaways:
- Perceived Political Affiliation Matters – Managers viewed as Trump-supporting were rated lower on inclusive leadership.
- Black Employees Feel Less Supported – This perception reduces engagement, mentorship, and professional growth opportunities.
- Younger Black Professionals Are Most Affected – Early-career employees rely more on managers for guidance and advancement.
- Inclusive Leadership Is Key – Organizations must address implicit biases and foster psychological safety to create thriving workplaces.
🔹 Why It Matters:
When employees don’t feel included, companies suffer lower retention, weaker engagement, and diminished performance. Leaders must recognize that it’s not just about what they do—but how they’re perceived.
