It takes effort to create an inclusive culture, and that effort starts with leaders changing their habits of interactions and paying attention to what they say and do on a daily basis.
I created this video to show what questions inclusive leaders ask themselves to measure their progress in creating more inclusivity*:
1. Am I open to ideas that are different to mine?
2. Am I seeking feedback if I am perceived as inclusive?
3. Are people copying my inclusive leader role modeling?
4. Do I seek out opportunities to work in multi-disciplinary teams?
5. Is a more diverse group of people sharing ideas with me?
6. Is my team working together more collaboratively?
7. Am I sharing why DEI is important to me?
8. Am I giving the periphery of my network the chance to speak up?
Feel free to download it and share it.
And here is the pdf version.
