Inclusive Leadership: A Competitive Advantage

$3,800.00
Overview

PLEASE NOTE: This program is currently being taught as an In Person class.

This course will be subject to all NYU COVID-19 safety protocols which may include but is not limited to: social distancing, mask wearing,  vaccination and testing requirements, adapting to a Live Online format, or cancellation. We will provide participants with updated information as we receive guidance from the university. 

In today’s rapidly changing global economy, companies that can attract, retain, and develop the best talent are at a competitive advantage -- and that talent is diverse along many dimensions.  At the same time, the pandemic has reset expectations about work, with employees prioritizing respect, fairness, and flexibility. An inclusive culture delivers on these expectations and provides bottom line value.  According to Gartner HR Research, employees who perceive their workplaces as fair perform at a level 26% higher than those who don’t and are 27% less likely to quit.

An inclusive culture requires inclusive leadership. This course guides participants in developing an inclusive leadership mindset, with a focus on leading across differences of multiple types, including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability and age. Through self-reflective exercises, interactive sessions and group work, the course will move from building awareness of practices that foster diversity and inclusion to helping participants create an inclusive leadership plan; the results will give your organization a competitive advantage attracting, retaining and advancing top talent.

Inspiration: How to Move the Needle on Inclusion!

i highly recommend this executive course on Inclusive Leadership. Anne and Linda are knowledgeable and expert in their fields and also bring practical real world experience to the table. The materials are interesting and designed to ignite lively debate and discussion - which they do! In my session, the audience quickly became a part of the curriculum: I found connection and insights from my fellow class participants - and a network that I still reach out to today. The course also provided materials and statistics that are useful in making the case internally and with clients I counsel: diversity and inclusion drive growth and innovation - DEI goals make commercial sense. The course gave me the both the insight and the strategy to drive the growth forward! Thank you Anne and Linda!
