Inclusive Leaders

Inclusive Leaders  actively influence environments in which diverse talent is fostered and appreciated. Diverse teams operate to their maximum potential because buy-in and inclusion are necessary components of leadership strategy.

Below are 10 laws that govern effective Inclusive Leaders and those who aspire to be Inclusive Leaders.  Inclusive Leaders:

1. Live by facts not fear (Mindfulness allows us to take a gut check and discern if we are operating with accurate  data)
   
2. Seek accountability because if you have a brain you have a bias.
3. Are humble learners respecting that others have the right to their own story
4. Know that consensus is overrated but buy-in is important
5. Assume the best until evidence of otherwise is presented
6. Seek to bring out and cultivate the best in those that they lead
7. Have a strong sense of their own cultural identity and resulting convictions and values
8. Can articulate a vision that can gather diverse support
9. Understand the role of how all “-isms” impact how we perceive others and ourselves
10.  Live by a code of personal ethics regarding human dignity that is conspicuous in their professional and personal life
