Stop Being “Nice” – Start Being Truly Inclusive
Just being “nice” isn’t enough if you want to lead inclusively. Inclusive leadership takes intention, action, and accountability—it’s not about being friendly but ensuring that everyone on your team can thrive. Here’s how to step up:
💡 Awareness & Empathy: Recognize how your privilege plays out in the workplace and use it to support underrepresented voices.
💡 Understand Cultural Differences: Go beyond surface-level empathy.
Explore different communication styles and conflict resolutions—read books, listen to podcasts, join ERGs, and engage with diverse communities.
💡 Counter Your Biases: Acknowledge your biases and work to interrupt them before they influence decisions.
