Career Conversation on Inclusive Leadership
Registration is now open for
Career Conversation 10 – Inclusive Leadership
March 1 – 12:00 PM ET – Webinar
What does it mean to be an inclusive leader, and why is inclusiveness important? What are the potential business benefits associated with an inclusive work environment or leadership style? And how can business professionals develop/strengthen their abilities to become an inclusive leader?
During this webinar, we will discuss three practical steps that you can take to develop your ability to be an inclusive leader:
- Fostering a “speak up” culture that will allow you to access different experiences and perspectives.
- Leveraging the “diversity of thought” of team members and business partners to generate new ideas to drive innovation.
- Expanding your personal and professional network by being intentional about connecting with people who are not like you to develop your cultural intelligence.
