Developing Capacity Coaching’s Post

Be a leader and lead by example. Changing culture can be tough, but sharing your journey, struggles, and lessons can inspire your team to challenge themselves and the status quo. Remember, saying you're inclusive and being inclusive are two different things. Evaluate your leadership and those who make decisions to ensure you're practicing true inclusion at every level. Unfortunately, the higher up the leadership ladder you go, the less diverse it becomes. Let's change that trend. #inclusion #leadership #diversity #shrm

Can you make inclusion a practice? I believe the answer is, "Yes!" In this conversation with Barbara Adachi, NACD.DC and Mike Arauz, hosted by August Public, we discussed the strategies and practices for building effective board culture. I love the practice of "perspective taking" or cognitive empathy. Listening until I can appreciate the other's view -- not necessarily agree with or align with their view -- but truly appreciate where they are coming from. This practice can help build bridges across differences. All of the strategies can be found in the Board Culture Playbook https://lnkd.in/g32JAQ8g co-created by the Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab and the California Partners Project.

Being seen, heard and appreciated for your perspective is critical to surviving and thriving in the world of work and more. This from Thasunda Brown Duckett are words are important to remember as we focus on the why behind cultivating diversity, equity and inclusion. #leadership #futureofwork #culture

Lori Nishiura Mackenzie has a simple but powerful practice for valuing difference and diversity within a team, without requiring everyone to get on the same page. She calls it Perspective Taking. 🔭 In this conversation with Barbara Adachi, NACD.DC and Mike Arauz, Lori describes how soliciting input from people who are likely to see things differently from yourself can bring value and wisdom to your team processes, without requiring everyone to agree. It’s about cultivating appreciation for different points of view – not about trying to achieve perfect consensus.

Creating a workplace that celebrates diversity and fosters inclusion is not just a moral imperative but also a strategic advantage.

Inclusion ensures that every voice is heard and valued, creating an environment where everyone can contribute to their fullest potential. Diversity is not just about meeting quotas or being politically correct. It’s about recognising the unique contributions that individuals from varied backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences bring to the table. Diverse teams are shown to be more effective at problem-solving and possess a greater range of skills and insights.
