Leadership: Business Measure and Baseball Analogy

leadership: The Star's warning came the day after results of the 2016 census were released, showing that 51.5 per cent of Toronto's population identified as a member of a visible minority, marking the first time more than half the population of Canada's largest city has said that, according to Rabble. But instead of earning points for courageous leadership, the Star is guilty of myopia. In an editorial, the paper said, there's still a yawning gap between Toronto's demographic reality and the makeup of its leadership in almost all sectors -- political, economic and social. Or, to extend the baseball analogy, it took its eye off the ball and struck out swinging. Nor did big business measure any better. To bolster its case, it quoted from a 2011 research report from Ryerson University showing that visible minorities comprised only 11 per cent of the region's elected officials at city hall, Queen's Park and Ottawa.
