Core Skills for Inclusive Leaders
Awareness must translate into actions which deliver business outcomes. The momentum and curiosity around diversity, equity, and inclusion is heartening, but new energy is not a scalable strategy.
Our tested approach leverages peer learning through seven Core Skills and is scalable across the company:
-
Shared understanding and common language is critical for productive dialogue and work. Learn more.
-
Each of us has a unique story that comes into every meeting, relationship, and conversation we have. Learn more.
-

-
We are dependent on others to learn, grow, and succeed. Feedback is a gift. Learn more.
-
Observing and honoring another’s unique contribution and character is one important way that we can build belonging. Learn more.
-
The development of our colleagues is driven by the environment we create and the support that we provide. Learn more.

Greatheart’s approach, and our Five-Stage Model, meets each learner where they are in their inclusion journey.
