Inclusive Leadership: Part 1 - Virtual
Monday, July 22, 2024 | 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM
What do we need to know about ourselves in order to interact thoughtfully, sensitively, and effectively as leaders? Our various and intersecting social identities based on race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, class, religion, age, nationality, and disability, shape our cultural orientations, perspectives, and behaviors. Thus, awareness of these social identities and the ways they have shaped our socialization experiences as well as our position within the social, historical, and political landscape in relation to systems of inequality, is crucial to becoming an effective leader.In this 3 part series participants will have the opportunity to closely examine their own lived experiences within the context of a researched inclusive leadership model. Participants will explore the characteristics necessary to be an effective leader of diverse teams while engaging concepts of power and privilege applied through a personal lens. The relationships between participants’ own social identities, privileges and disadvantages, and how these experiences ultimately contribute to their own leadership traits will be the focus of the dialogue throughout the program. This series is meant to support leaders in building confidence, skills, and appreciation for interacting across differences broadly. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

As participants develop a more sophisticated understanding of their own identities, they will have greater insight into how to work effectively with those from different backgrounds and how to address conflict within diverse groups. Participants will examine what it means to be culturally confident and begin to apply their cultural confidence in the workplace.
