Inclusive Diversity

Though frequently used together, the terms diversity and inclusion have different meanings.

You can have a diverse workforce but not necessarily an inclusive one.

Diversity is the mixture of demographics, psychographics, and experiences reflected in the workforce.

By contrast, inclusion is the practice of recognizing and valuing all employee perspectives and contributions, and creating opportunities for all voices to be equally heard and inform organizational processes.

In a culture of inclusive diversity the full potential of all employees is realized.

In our  HCI’s Talent Pulse research, they:

• Examined the antecedents and conditions of inclusive diversity.
• Asked HR practitioners and leaders involved with diversity and inclusion efforts about their current programs
  • to shed more light on what is working and what is not.

In fact, researchers recently found that mandatory diversity training that tries to police thoughts and behaviors does more harm than good.

They often result in backlash and can make an organization less diverse in the long-run.

In HCI’s survey, they asked about the D&I training offered but also explored the outcomes of those engagements to better understand the most effective ways to build inclusive diversity.

In this research webcast they will:

• Report on the prevalence of different types of D&I programs and who is responsible for design and implementation of them.
• Explore the motivations of organizations focused on D&I as a means of compliance versus those organizations that invest in D&I to drive learning and leverage of diverse perspectives.
• Learn the personal characteristics and abilities needed to foster a culture of inclusion.
• Address the most notable challenges facing effective implementation of D&I efforts.

Leadership in projects is dynamic and alternates between actors.

In this presentation Shankar Sankaran (LinkedIn profile; Ralf Müller (LinkedIn profile) & Nathalie Drouin (LinkedIn profile) will describe the award-winning study of leadership reality in projects and its resulting theory of balanced and horizontal leadership outlines project-specific approaches to leadership.

These include temporary appointments of horizontal leaders, as well as the dynamic assignment (i.e., the balancing) of leadership authority to the best possible leader in different situations.

To that end, it outlines a framework including recently identified types of leadership and their situational contingencies.

This includes the five events that make up horizontal leadership in projects. These are nomination of team members, identification of potential leaders, selection and empowerment of leaders, empowered leadership and its governance, as well as leadership transition.

Moreover, the presentation addresses the coordination of these events through the socio-cognitive space, and the dynamic assignment of leadership authority to the best possible leader at a time, which is known as balanced leadership.

The presentation is based one of the largest research studies ever done in project management, where ten country teams conducted about 300 interviews and about 60 case studies worldwide, backed up by 174 responses to a global validation questionnaire. The study was funded, among others, by the PMI Sponsored Research Program.

After the webinar, attendees will:

• Know about the difference between leadership approaches and leadership styles
• Know about the dynamics of the relationship between leadership by the project manager and leadership by team members
• Know about newly identified leadership approaches, such as horizontal leadership and balanced leadership
• Distinguish between different leadership approaches, such as vertical, horizontal, shared/distributed and balanced leadership
• Use the presented leadership approaches in their own projects to save time and effort by making best use of their team members’ leadership skills
