Inclusive leadership is about fostering an environment where all people, including leaders, are growing and evolving together. Doing that requires three things:
Creating genuine inclusive environments where leaders allow employees and customers to influence the future.
Redefining accountability metrics for how we measure and reward high performance cultures.
Placing inclusive leadership in the center of growth — in corporate strategy and transformation.
This is not where most inclusion initiatives are placed. Most of them are viewed as cost centers — fringe activities associated with compliance, representation and reputation management — rather than profit centers that enable sustainable growth through opportunities previously unseen.
