play

10/14/21 • 62 min

Inclusive leadership is just good leadership.

Manisha Amin is the CEO at The Center for Inclusive Design, she a background in strategic marketing, communication, transforming cultures and creativity. She is a thought leader in the power of thinking from the edge.

In this episode we discuss why inclusive leadership matters, why so many leaders and organisations are nervous about taking action on diversity, equity and inclusion. How we are are creating systems that foster a lack of equity and the power of 'leading for the edge' transform organisations.

We are co-hosting a Inclusive Leadership online workshop on the 23rd Feb

In this workshop we will explore why inclusive leadership is a must have, identify the specific traits of an inclusive leader and provide a roadmap for individuals looking to develop their capacity to lead inclusive organisations.

At their best employee resource groups (ERGs) provide a space for connection, mutual support and career development for their members. They benefit the organisation by driving strategic priorities and help the communities they advocate for by addressing inequity and creating positive change.

But at their worst, ERGs can become demotivated and negative. They can generate additional and non impactful work for themselves and others, and also create risks through organisational misalignment and agitation for change that might not actually be possible or desirable.

In this episode Kerry Boys and Phil Cross deep dive into what an effective ERG looks like and how we can ensure they impact our organisations and our teams positively.
