Inclusive Leadership
What is Inclusive Leadership?
Inclusive leadership is the practice of leadership that carefully maximizes the contributions of all stakeholders in the community or organization. Inclusion means being at the table at multiple levels of the organization, being a valued contributor, and being fully responsible for your contribution to the ultimate result.
Inclusive leadership unites human capital by developing “a united team of leaders” who cultivate and harvest new ideas and innovative strategies to resolve issues and advance an organization’s mission. Inclusive leadership is the "essential ingredient for success" for colleges and universities to realize excellence.
Why Inclusive Leadership?
Diversity of Markets
Demand is shifting to emerging markets. With their growing middle class, these new markets represent the single biggest growth opportunity in the portfolio of many companies around the world.
Diversity of Customers
Customer demographics and attitudes are changing. Empowered through technology and with greater choice, an increasingly diverse customer base expects better personalization of products and services.
Diversity of Ideas
Digital technology, hyper-connectivity, and deregulation are disrupting business value chains and the nature of consumption and competition. Few would argue against the need for rapid innovation.
Diversity of Talent
Shifts in age profiles, education, and migration flows, along with expectations of equality of opportunity and work/life balance, are all impacting employee populations.
