How Inclusive is Your Leadership?

Inclusion is a wooly word for many leaders. What does inclusive mean in terms of behaviours? People want to know how to put inclusion into practice in their everyday work.

I've been using different versions of a simple self-assessment tool to help answer these questions. It looks at behaviours in six areas:

1. Creating a supportive environment for each individual
2. Making sure people are treated fairly
3. Being a role model for behaviours that make people feel welcomed and respected
4. Developing diverse talent effectively
5. Avoiding the impact of biased judgements, assumptions and personal "comfort zones"
6. Using diversity to get better results

The tool describes a set of behaviours against which leaders can assess their own performance. Better still - copy the tool and have others provide feedback as well.

The work leads to pursuing one or two areas with highest potential for impact.
