Leadership Team Equity Audit: Seeing Beneath the Surface

Uncover the Unseen Dynamics Shaping Leadership Equity

Every organization has a current - a flow of decision-making, influence, and opportunity that defines how power moves. Yet beneath even the calmest surface, unseen imbalances can quietly shape culture.


The Leadership Team Equity Audit from The Center for Equity and Inclusion is for leaders ready to see what’s really happening beneath that surface - so they can lead with greater clarity, courage, and equity.


Who Is An Equity Audit For?


This equity audit was built for those who shape culture from the top:

  • Executives and CEOs who want leadership that reflects their people and values.

  • HR and DEI leaders are tasked with turning equity into measurable change.

  • Boards and senior teams are accountable for inclusive governance and sustainable growth.

  • Change-minded leaders who believe culture is a strategic advantage, not a side project.

If you’re committed to building equity at every level, but need a clear picture of where gaps, risks, or untapped potential lie - this audit is your starting point.


From Good Intentions to Clear Insight


It’s easy to assume progress. It’s harder to measure it.

The Leadership Team Equity Audit turns intuition into data, giving leaders the clarity to act with precision rather than perception.

Use it to:

  • Reveal who holds decision-making power—and who’s been left out of the conversation.

  • Identify where representation and advancement taper off.

  • Understand how equity shows up (or doesn’t) across your leadership behaviors and systems.

  • Establish a measurable equity baseline to guide your next strategic moves.

This isn’t about blame - it’s about vision. When you can see the full landscape of your leadership culture, you can chart a truer, stronger course forward.


What You’ll Receive


When you complete the Leadership Team Equity Audit Survey, you’ll gain more than numbers - you’ll gain direction.


You’ll receive:

  • A personalized equity audit score that reflects the equity health of your leadership team.

Why Should I Audit My Leadership Team?


Equity at the top changes everything. When leadership mirrors the diversity and lived experience of its people, the ripple effects touch every level - trust deepens, innovation accelerates, and belonging becomes the culture, not a campaign.


Representation in leadership isn’t symbolic - it’s strategic. It shapes who stays, who grows, and who believes there’s a future for them here.


True transformation starts with seeing clearly.


Take the Leadership Team Equity Audit Survey today to discover how your team’s power, voice, and opportunity truly flow. You’ll walk away with a clear picture of your leadership ecosystem - and a strategy to create balance, inclusion, and shared power where it matters most.
