Leaders must actively work to ensure that their words and actions don’t discriminate against any particular group. In addition, they should prioritize education and engagement on sensitive topics. When addressing a matter concerning marginalized communities, leaders should employ careful speech as well as an intersectional approach that centers marginalized groups by providing resources, raising awareness of current inequities and calling for action to right the wrongs in our society. Furthermore, it’s important for leaders to listen more than they speak and be open-minded when it comes to feedback from those affected.

Leaders should always take great care to be respectful and considerate when addressing topics that may be seen as controversial or inflammatory. This includes being mindful not to make categorical statements, such as "all" or " none," and listening to the diversity of opinions expressed in the audience. Leaders should also actively seek out diverse viewpoints, ensuring that a variety of voices are part of the conversation.
