Diversity initiatives are falling short. This book shows leaders how to develop the skills needed to build sustainably inclusive organizations using a tested, research-based model developed by the global organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry. Workplaces are increasingly diverse, yet the top of the house continues to look the same. This is diversity without inclusion. And without inclusion at all levels, organizations miss out on greater innovation, talent optimization, access to diverse marketplaces, and the ability to successfully navigate disruption. More effective leadership is needed to drive this transformation. Andrés Tapia and Alina Polonskaia, senior client partners at international consulting powerhouse Korn Ferry, draw on Korn Ferry's extensive research and the actual experiences and perspectives of inclusive leaders to identify five disciplines of inclusive leadership: - Build interpersonal trust - Integrate diverse perspectives - Optimize talent - Apply an adaptive mindset - Achieve transformation They outline the competencies behind each discipline, describe individual and organizational exemplars of inclusive leadership, and show how the five disciplines enable leaders to tackle tough diversity challenges. This book will help leaders build the skills to meet the demands of the present and leverage opportunities in uncharted territories that will take their organizations to the next level
