Inclusive leaders are committed to diversity and inclusion because these objectives align with their personal value and because they believe in their positive impact on the organization. In this session, we examine how leaders articulate authentic commitment to diversity, hold others accountable, and make diversity and inclusion a personal priority.
Introduction to Inclusive Leadership
Outstanding leaders create a climate where people are engaged, feel valued, are fully included in decisions and processes, and actively contribute new ideas and ways of improvement. Inclusive leaders achieve these goals by celebrating and valuing differences, unveiling the limitless potential of each individual, and fostering multicultural collaboration. In this overview session, leaders will gain an enhanced understanding of the importance of inclusive leadership in organizations. Participants will understand the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to effectively lead global and diverse teams. This session also provides an overview of the series.
