Embracing Inclusion

To lead effectively in a cross-cultural world, leaders should be interested in all perspectives, without judgment to:

  • Lead and engage with a diverse workforce and business partners. 
  • Reduce the impact of inappropriate biases on individuals’ careers and work. 
  •  Self-reflect with understanding to achieve goals that they may set for themselves. 
  •  Help their staff make sense of contemporary and past events.
  •  Help those who feel that they are victims to become more effective in the face of actual and perceived challenges. 
  • Establish a culture of valuing and celebrating differences in visible, authentic ways.

“ It is a matter of national security to do important things that draw people together with implicit truth…if honest with self we all have unconscious biases, admitted or not, have to pay a lot of attention early on to manage the team we have… 

The more Senior you get the more you talk and less you listen, I am trying to listen more.” 

David H. Berger, American Commanding General, United States Marine Corps.
