Inclusive Leadership: Get the Data You Need to Be A Better Team Leader

Articles Oct 11, 2023

Many organizations still champion the image of a charismatic leader guiding a company to success. However, gambling on the talents of one extraordinary individual isn’t a sustainable management strategy. The world is too complex for any individual leader to have all the answers. Today’s rapidly changing business environment requires a different sort of leader–one who can lead an innovative, diverse team. 

The Goal is Inclusive Leadership 

Leaders have to manage the day-to-day challenges of running a business while sustaining team culture, blending the personalities, ambitions, talents, and weaknesses of the people they work with to achieve organizational outcomes. This includes managing across areas of difference including generational differences, cultural difference, physical proximity, and more. Doing all this with empathy, while simultaneously focusing on the rapidly changing business environment, isn’t easy.
