Inclusive Leadership

Many organisations now have diversity and inclusion policies as standard. But too often, the focus is on increasing the diversity of the workforce without considering how to bring in and make use of the skills and talents that diversity offers. This topic is aimed at leaders who want to learn about inclusive behaviours. We will explore the difference inclusion makes to people, what happens when we feel included and how leaders can avoid bias and prejudice in their decision making. We’ll look at the business argument for inclusion and examine the inclusion paradox. Throughout , leaders will pick up tips and skills that will enable them to appreciate and value difference, and make it work positively for them and their organisations.
