- Trigger Hesitancy The Reluctance of Decision-Makers to Pull the Trigger on Qualified African American Talent By Courtney Vance Davis Diversity commitments are easy to announce. Inclusion is harder to execute. Equity requires courage. In Trigger Hesitancy, executive leader Courtney Vance Davis delivers a clear-eyed examination of why qualified African American professionals continue to be underrepresented in senior leadership, executive management, and corporate boardrooms—despite strong performance, proven results, and widespread corporate diversity initiatives. Drawing from firsthand experience in corporate America, private equity–owned organizations, and boardroom environments, Davis exposes the unspoken patterns that shape hiring, promotion, and succession planning. He challenges familiar corporate language—“leadership readiness,” “culture fit,” and “prior experience”—and demonstrates how these criteria are often applied unevenly, reinforcing systemic barriers while appearing objective. This is not a book about intent. It is a book about outcomes. Through real-world case studies, personal leadership experiences, and historical context rooted in the African American professional experience, Trigger Hesitancy explores how access is frequently mistaken for opportunity, how silence is enforced under the guise of professionalism, and how proximity to power does not guarantee influence. Written for CEOs, board members, human capital leaders, private equity partners, and senior executives, this book avoids ideology and accusation. Instead, it offers practical insight into how organizational decision-making works—and where it fails. Trigger Hesitancy is ideal for readers interested in:Executive leadership developmentCorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)Board governance and succession planningTalent management and promotion equityAfrican American leadership in businessPrivate equity portfolio company leadershipThis work is not an indictment. It is an invitation—to lead with clarity, accountability, and conviction.
