Inclusive Leadership

What does it mean for an organisation to be inclusive? The words inclusivity and diversity have had more than their share of publicity in the last few years, but are our communicates and our companies truly inclusive? Do we genuinely celebrate diversity in a way that harnesses the extraordinary power of radically different perspectives?

Inclusive leadership is about opening yourself up to the vastness of other people's experiences. It's about celebrating the notion that those experiences lead to a variety of perspectives and ideas that can take your organisation and everyone in it on a collective journey of discovery and new possibilities.

Outcomes

At the end of this course the participants should be able to:

  • Explain the critical need for inclusive leadership across the organisation
  • Identify the consequences of non-inclusive leadership
  • Determine what inclusive leadership looks like
  • Create strategies for developing inclusive leadership practices
  • Begin to drive higher engagement levels in the workplace
  • Create an action plan to improve inclusive leadership skills

What to expect

This course will provide you with a deep understanding of inclusive leadership and its impact on workplace culture, engagement, and innovation. You’ll explore what true inclusivity means, why it’s essential, and how to develop leadership practices that foster a more diverse and welcoming environment. Through practical exercises, you’ll identify unconscious biases, challenge willful blindness, and build strategies to create an inclusive culture.
