Enjoy a sneak peek of Chapter 1, Welcome to Inclusive Leadership
Our work as leaders is to create environments where diversity can thrive. Inclusive leaders create environments where people of all backgrounds feel respected, can contribute their talent and perspectives, and are given fair access to meaningful opportunities. Most of us think of ourselves as kind, fair, and well-meaning, and we are, but being well-meaning is not enough when it comes to being an inclusive leader. This course, Inclusive Leadership, helps to deepen leaders’ understanding of the complexities of leading a diverse team and workforce, the challenges involved in creating a truly inclusive organizational culture, and provides skills and strategies for success as an inclusive leader. This 60-minute self-paced course includes 11 short chapters that build upon one another and a short quiz at the end. Included are the handouts:
- Steps Leaders Can Take to Promote Diversity and Inclusion
- How Inclusive Leaders Can Make a Difference
Bulk seats and outright purchases are available on our online LMS or via SCORM files for organizational learning management systems.
