LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT – TRAINING & COACHING
The Inclusion Imperative can work with executives and leaders (at all levels within your organisation) to help them create psychological safety within their teams – empowering the executives and leaders to embrace a people-centric focus in order to do the best for, and get the best out of, their staff, and so promote better growth, innovation and risk-management capabilities.
The approach will vary case by case, depending on person’s ambition, experience, influence and leadership philosophy, all of which will be developed in unison. The focus will always be on the role of the leader in creating and maintaining a supportive culture of transparency, authenticity, empathy and openness.
FUTURE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT – MENTORING
The Inclusion Imperative can work with the people in your organisation who will be its leaders of the future - line managers, ERG leads, and others with leadership aspirations
The approach will vary case by case, but will involve mentoring them on the importance of developing their 'soft' leadership skills, such as transparency, authenticity, empathy and openness, and offering them guidance on career path management.
INDEXES, AWARDS & ERG GUIDANCE
The Inclusion Imperative can provide your organisation with strategic and tactical guidance on:
