Many leaders want to be allies for underrepresented groups, but fear their attempts will be awkward or offensive. New research suggests these fears are often unfounded, with acts of allyship generally being appreciated more than anticipated. Organizations can help by educating potential allies on how their efforts are received and by creating a culture where open communication and support are encouraged.

Executives recognize the impacts these efforts engender with key stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors, partners, politicians, and the like. The challenge is that these important stakeholder impacts are difficult to see or measure — for example, you can’t look at two eggs and identify which one was grown sustainably.
