Inclusive leadership requires leaders to develop and grow the awareness, skills and best-practices to lead more inclusively.
Integral to this process is the need for leaders to fully understand the business case and return on investment of building a more diverse and inclusive organisational culture at every level.
However, for many leaders, even if they understand the rationale for changing behavior, it can be challenging to address their ‘bias blind spot’ and accept their role in perpetuating exclusion through their own deeply embedded preferences and ways of working. This can be a key blocker to transforming behavior and showing leadership to influence others to be part of creating a more inclusive working culture.
Our Inclusive Leadership Programme offers an effective, discrete and highly impactful route to building individual acceptance of each leader’s inclusion challenges and biases, and from there create rapid momentum towards modelling inclusive leadership on a personal level and working on the systemic biases present within their team or organisation.
Through a range of awareness and engagement building consultations, assessment tools and strategic application workshops we guide leaders and their teams to apply inclusive behaviours and tactical actions across a range of contexts in their sphere of influence creating measurable behaviour change in their ability to:
Create psychological safety in their teams to underpin the cultural drive towards transparency and open communication
Manage, develop and leverage talent at every stage in the pipeline
Make more conscious (unbiased) decisions
Proactively collaborate across organisational boundaries and silos
Model a more inclusive style of leadership/culture
Leverage constructive conflict to build a culture of innovation and creativity
