Inclusive Leaders

7/7/2015

5 Comments

 
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

    Christina is a cultural faux pas magnet.  Questions from people of color and racial majority folks about micro-aggressions and cultural misunderstandings tend to fill her week. Between answering such questions she has served as a mental health practitioner, administrator, educator, public speaker and die-hard family-woman. When it comes to culture, from the funny to the tragic, she has heard it all. Remember cultural competency is a journey so lets journey together.
