Content

Readers will gain a clearer understanding of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality as three distinct concepts, rather than the single concept of DEI or EDI. They will reflect on the qualities of Inclusive Leaders and assess how they and their colleagues demonstrate these in daily behaviours. Additionally, readers will be introduced to the nine causal factors of inclusion, based on nearly 30 years of action research by the author, which are essential for fostering a sense of inclusion.

About the Expert

Since 1990 I have worked with CEOs, and other leaders globally, seeking to help them to transform their own and their organisation’s performance. My experience spans the public, private and charity sectors. I regularly speak on inclusion and diversity at conferences, seminars, and workshops. I’ve grown by working in, and leading organisations; being deliberate about learning, engaging with experts, reading, attending hundreds of personal growth events, and developing ideas, and programmes. I like gardening, singing, Classic FM and watching TV, and a road in Scarborough is named after me.

Understand the Distinctions Between Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality. Recognise the Importance of Managing Inclusion. Leverage Diversity for Organisational Value. Integrate Inclusive Leadership Behaviours. Apply the Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality Agenda (IDEA).
