How to become an Inclusive Leader
Title: How to become an Inclusive Leader
When: September 16, 2022 2:00 – 3:30 PM (Eastern Time)
Facilitator: Dr. Meagan Pollock
Abstract
Belonging and being valued are fundamental human needs. Inclusive leadership helps address these two crucial needs and enhances performance, collaboration, attendance, and reduces turnover. This life skill is helpful for everyone, yet it is imperative to create cultures, schools, teams, and organizations that drive equitable outcomes for historically marginalized and minoritized people. This talk examines a four-part, iterative, reflective, and reflexive framework for developing into an inclusive leader.
Learning objectives
- Participants will reflect on what inclusive leadership means.
- Participants will explore a four-part, iterative process for becoming an inclusive leader.
