Inclusive Leadership

Our recent investigations on inclusive leadership have made clear its significant benefits. Some studies found:

• 29% increase in team collaboration
• 17% boost in team performance, and
• 20% improvement in decision-making quality.

When applied at the board level, inclusive leadership has significantly enhanced collaborative decision-making, improved the company's performance, and strengthened shareholder relations. Boards that had well-integrated female directors experienced 10% higher stock returns.

Yet, according to Korn Ferry, a mere 5% of leaders today exhibit inclusive behaviors. This suggests a significant opportunity for organizations to harness the power of inclusion.

Inclusive leadership is necessary for unlocking the full potential of diversity and making it successful. By recognizing and valuing each individual's unique characteristics, both visible and quiet, we can create stronger, more collaborative teams and drive better outcomes.

• How to Build Diverse Leadership Teams by Enlisting Stakeholders, MIT Sloan Management Review.
