What does ひと足ふた足抜け mean here?

> ありがとうございます。多様性の時代をチャンスとして捉えるという意味ですよね。私も話していてすごく体感するのが、ひと足ふた足抜けてD&Iに取り組んでいらっしゃるので、本当にグローバルなイノベーションにつながると思います。真に多様性の尊重されるような組織をつくれたら、という思いに共感していますし、応援しています。

This is the conclusion of a talk about equity in the workplace where they
brought a guest who works for supposedly leading company in that area
(双日株式会社｜Sojitz Corporation) Where the host says the phrase :ひと足ふた足抜け" which i
coud not exactly find after searching, the closest thing i found is 足抜けて which
is defined as つらい状況・境遇などから抜け出すこと。But I do not think this is how it is used
here ! Am I correct in my understanding that it means somthing along the lines
of "leading by a step or two" ?




Yes, I think your understanding is correct. While ひと足先に and 一歩抜け出す are common
expressions, ひと足抜ける is not. Still, it's reasonable to guess it's supposed to
mean "他の人より1、2歩先に" or "他の人に先駆けて".
