The Future of Leadership Is Inclusive: Insights from Minette Norman

Financial performance is impossible without high-performing, engaged employees. In fact, one study found a direct link between inclusive leadership, psychological safety, and greater innovation. The people-first leadership approach is based on a simple idea: If employees are taken care of, they will take care of customers and clients.  

While the idea is straightforward, inclusive leadership takes intention and practice, explains author and consultant Minette Norman. A former Silicon Valley software executive, Norman recently spoke with Jackie Ferguson, Vice President of Content, Products and Programming at The Diversity Movement, about transforming team culture, embracing diversity, and creating belonging in the workplace.
