Path To Becoming An Inclusive Leader

Diversity has evolved from a mere compliance exercise with a focus on meeting numbers on various measurable attributes (gender, race, age, disability) to the reality that our organizations are increasingly diverse, multicultural and global.

Today, we refer to inclusive leadership as an integrated set of skills that are required to channel the power and potential of a diverse workforce for the benefit of the organization, teams, workgroups, individual employees, customers, suppliers and the communities we serve.

This session is a preview of the AMA seminar, Leading in a Diverse and Inclusive Culture, explains how this course gives you deeper insights into yourself, your team, and the benefits of inclusion at all levels in your organization.

Join Carrie Spell-Hansson who will teach you the characteristics and skills vital to an inclusive leader, including:

• The difference between diversity and inclusion, and its presence in and influence on our day-to-day interactions and decisions
• How to recognize the manner in which culture impacts our perceptions, beliefs, behaviors and responses
• The concepts of unconscious bias, micro inequities and micro advantages
• The characteristics of successful culturally competent leaders

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

Realize The Full Benefits Of Diversity

Diversity has been a goal, an initiative, and a buzzword for decades, but few individuals or organizations have seen as much impact as they’d like from their efforts.

Recent research makes the reasons for that clear: realizing the full benefits of diversity is impossible without an equally dedicated effort toward inclusion.

Unfortunately, when faced with real-world inclusion scenarios, even well-intentioned leaders can fall into unconscious traps.

But with a more developed understanding of inherent biases, coaches can help clients guard against exclusivity and set themselves on the true path to inclusion.

Join Tricia Naddaff, (LinkedIn profile) MRG President, to move beyond the tired assumptions around diversity and discover the practical tactics for building a truly diverse and inclusive environment.

Tricia will explore:

• Diversity and Inclusion: why they matter, and what the barriers are to achieving both
• Why we won’t be successful with Diversity initiatives alone
• The triggers that send diversity-positive leaders running from inclusion
  • and how to be proactive about overcoming them
• Research on the practices of leaders best equipped to foster a diverse and inclusive environment
• Tactics for increasing inclusivity
