Traits of an Inclusive Leader

Inclusive leaders are not only credited for their ability to make everyone onboard feel included and a part of the conversation, but also for their ability to inspire innovation and deal with critical problems. While inclusive leaders have many traits that differentiate them from one another, a few are common to all-

Committed to change

Inclusive leaders are driven by their passion to bring about positive and sustainable change. Any initiatives they spearhead are not ticks in the box but strive to bring about some concrete changes that have an overarching impact

Sensitive to other opinions

Inclusive leaders are not full of themselves. Rather they are sensitive to the opinions of others. They listen more than they command. They are cautious about the terms they use and intolerant towards the imposition of views on others

Collaborative in nature

Inclusive leaders believe in the power of collaboration. They reiterate time and again how working together as a team can make dreams a reality. Therefore, they acknowledge the contributions of all team members, giving them due credit.

In a nutshell, inclusive leaders appreciate the unique perspectives and values every different individual brings to the table!
