Developing leaders to be more inclusive in their leadership and management style is essential for any organization that wants to see significant progress in diversity and inclusion (D&I). Yet many leaders have D&I fatigue – they either see it as not their problem or that it is simply concerned with positive discrimination, specifically around gender and ethnicity. They don’t have a good understanding of why inclusion is good for them and good for business or what they should do about it. This session aims to address that.
Using inspiring ‘best practice’ stories combined with the latest research, Hayley will cover:
- How D&I can help drive innovation and business results;
- Why mega trends in diversity of markets, talent, customers, risk and ideas require a collaborative and inclusive response.
- How inclusion and collaboration can be a fundamental driver of one’s leadership style;
- What does inclusive leadership look like? How to future proof your leadership.
- What the barriers to inclusion are (such as unconscious bias) and what you as a leader can do to mitigate their impact.
- How you can shape, take ownership of, and be a role model for your organization’s D&I strategy
