RESEARCH
Blueprint and UBC Sauder School of Business 2021 research study, “Leading in the Wake of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter” explores how social equity movements have shaped conversations in business, and amongst those in positions of leadership, around issues of gender, race, diversity, and equity and inclusion.

The study explores the following core themes:
- Current styles and models of leadership

- Attitudes about leadership training programs focused on equity and inclusion
- Commitment to mentorship, sponsorship and allyship
