Inclusive leadership can be a sensitive subject.
On one hand we can appreciate the concept intellectually, but emotionally, when someone says we’re not being inclusive it feels like a personal attack because we’re often unaware of how our behavior impacts what others see and hear AND more importantly, how our own culture, experiences, and biases shape what we do and say.

* What inclusive leadership really means
* The seven traits of inclusive leadership
* The inclusive leadership trait that can’t be taught and you need to hire for
* The trait that is the most challenging for leaders to master
* And much more.
