Businesswoman says workplaces should address diversity for success

The biases that prevent women from achieving levels rising into leadership are two fold for people of other diversities, especially at leadership roles, Wendt-Moore said.

"Being in a workplace that is designed based on a Western model that's hundreds of years old that says leadership looks a certain way and is male and white.

"Even now with discussion on gender diversity, it might be male and female, but it's predominantly white males and females that are talked about," Wendt-Moore said.
