Download or read book The Boldly Inclusive Leader written by Minette Norman and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To create cultures where diverse teams flourish, we need boldly inclusive leaders. Organizations have made public commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, yet their leaders rarely have the skills to lead inclusively. Leadership consultant and former Silicon Valley executive Minette Norman is committed to changing that by sharing some of the most important things she’s discovered over the decades she spent in the corporate world, such as • every human being needs to feel they belong, • teams thrive when everyone feels safe enough to share their unique ideas and experiences, • innovation is a group activity, • empathy and compassion are leadership superpowers, and • leaders set the tone by what they say, do, reward, and tolerate. This is not a book about quick fixes or paying lip service to the hot topic of inclusion. This is for leaders who want to boldly transform the workplace and are willing to leave their comfort zones. As a leader, you will learn to maximize your team’s potential and appreciate that inclusive leadership is an ongoing journey. As Minette shows, there is no flipping a switch or a neat, three-step formula. Inclusive leadership takes commitment and practice, but the rewards are enormous.

Diversity and inclusion expert Jennifer Brown provides a step-by-step guide for the personal and emotional journey we must undertake to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. Human potential is unleashed when we feel like we belong. That's why inclusive workplaces experience higher engagement, performance, and profits. But the reality is that many people still feel unable to bring their true selves to work.

Drawing on years of work with many leading organizations, Jennifer Brown shows what leaders at any level can do to spark real change.

Brown describes the hallmarks of each stage, the behaviors and mind-sets that inform it, and what readers can do to keep progressing. Whether you're a powerful CEO or a new employee without direct reports, there are actions you can take that can drastically change the day-to-day reality for your colleagues and the trajectory of your organization. Anyone can—and should—be an inclusive leader. Brown lays out simple steps to help you understand your role, boost your self-awareness, take action, and become a better version of yourself in the process. This book will meet you where you are and provide a road map to create a workplace of greater mutual understanding where everyone's talents can shine.
Download or read book The 5 Disciplines of Inclusive Leaders written by Andrés T Tapia and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversity initiatives are falling short. This book shows leaders how to develop the skills needed to build sustainably inclusive organizations using a tested, research-based model developed by the global organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry. According to the journal Human Resource Management, companies are spending over $8 billion a year on diversity programs. Yet today, the senior leadership teams at Fortune 500 companies are far from mirroring the diversity of its workforce and its customers. Andrés Tapia and Alina Polonskaia, senior leaders at Korn Ferry, argue that to build sustainable diversity and inclusion, organizations need to have inclusive leaders at all levels. In this book, Tapia and Polonskaia draw on Korn Ferry's massive database of 3 million leadership assessments to reveal the essential qualities of inclusive leaders. They discuss the personality traits these leaders share and detail how to develop what they call the five disciplines of inclusive leadership: building interpersonal trust, integrating diverse perspectives, optimizing talent, applying an adaptive mindset, and achieving transformation. Tapia and Polonskaia also outline the competencies behind each discipline, describe individual and organizational exemplars of inclusive leadership, and show how the five disciplines enable leaders to unleash the power of all people and to build both structurally and behaviorally inclusive organizations. This book will help leaders foster the skills to deal with today's complex challenges and create a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future for all of us.

Book excerpt: This compelling and inspiring call to action for leaders at every level helps them find their role and voice in affecting societal and workplace change. The need for inclusive leadership has never been more urgent. In the United States, the wealth gap is the greatest it has ever been, with women, people of color, and other marginalized communities being the most impacted by economic and societal inequities. In the workplace, representation is still sorely lacking across every industry. Pay disparities, low wages, and lack of benefits continue to characterize many jobs in the nation's labor force. These realities have an impact on generations, communities, and our society overall. To build a more equitable future, leaders must grasp the urgency of their role and responsibility in the change effort. In this updated and greatly expanded second edition of her bestselling book, Jennifer Brown takes a deeper dive into what it takes to be an inclusive leader and examines the challenges and mindsets that continue to hold many leaders back. Combining nearly two decades of professional DEI expertise with personal experience and reflection, she tackles complex topics such as identity, privilege, and systemic inequities. Following her widely acclaimed Inclusive Leader Continuum, Brown makes the journey to becoming an inclusive leader more informed and actionable by offering new structure and content throughout the new edition of the book, including new insights and stories, detailed strategies and tools, and discussion guides to spark learning at the individual and organizational levels. Whether you are already a fan of the first edition of How to Be an Inclusive Leader or are just embarking on your journey to become a more inclusive leader, this book will meet you where you are and equip you to take action and step into your role in the change effort.

Like transformation, inclusive leadership, embracing diversity and engagement of employees and teams, is not just a knee jerk reaction to a problem but a culture that leaders must create in their organisations for sustainability.

Download or read book Inclusive Leadership written by Rolandria Justice Emenuga and published by Contemporary Perspectives on Supervision and Instructional Leadership. This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inclusive leaders create strong cultures with systems to respond to unique needs and encourage hidden potential. Inclusive leaders think in terms of each rather than all, and they strive to engage each child and adult. This perspective values individual cultural capital. (Cowart Moss, 2020; DeMatthews, 2018; McLeskey, Waldron, & Redd, 2019). Inclusive leadership requires district and school leaders to be intentional, hypervigilant, and to contextualize their work. These actions must be ongoing. They are not accomplishments, rather they must be a way of leading and seeing the world. (Berry, Cowart Moss & Gore, 2018; Mette, 2019). Leaders can break down barriers or create obstacles. Ironically, leaders may perceive themselves as promoting inclusion while still operating within areas of implicit bias (Arnold, 2019; Theoharis & Causton-Theoharis, 2008; Willey & Magee, 2018). Barriers to inclusion may reside outside of a leader's direct control. They may be systemic, or they may arise in unforeseen and unpredictable crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic. While our schools continue to face enormous challenges from COVID-19, they also face stress from increasing awareness and reactions to systemic racism and political polarization. History shows collaboration and strong relationships can greatly impact responses to a crisis and the quality of rebuilding efforts after a crisis. (Stern, Cetron, & Markel 2009). It is increasingly important for school leaders to cultivate inclusive approaches, building repertoires of skills to meet the needs of the diverse, marginalized, and unsettled members of their school communities. Leaders must have theoretical and pedagogical tools for assessing their capacities and for reflecting on their progress. They must have access to resources and support for continued growth. The ideal of inclusion is synonymous with belonging and caring, but ideals must be more than talking points. Inclusive leaders can parse out the subtleties that separate more abstract notions of justice and caring (Noddings, 2015) from specific actions that result in inclusive cultures. These leaders bridge the gap between theory and practice. This volume, Inclusive Leadership: From Theory to Practice, seeks to provide a more nuanced view of what it means to be an inclusive leader as it explores current research, practical applications, and personal narratives"--
