In the inclusive leadership course, we work on defining inclusive leadership practices based on each leader’s individual preferences, leadership style, and biases.
Diversity and Inclusion: Inclusive Leadership
We equip leaders to create psychological safety for everyone
Only when we understand our own preferences and the differences we may encounter in a diverse team regarding, for example, expectations of the leader, decision making processes, and feedback, can we work on becoming inclusive leaders.
We motivate leaders to recognize the great potential of including diversity, and we map, among other things, the diversity within each leader’s team, department, or group, while identifying and discussing inclusion challenges.
We also work with specific work situations where leaders can implement small inclusive practices or replace unintentionally exclusive or non-inclusive behaviors with actively inclusive leadership practices.
