For too long, business as usual has benefited some, but not all. A modern business needs a modern approach that supports diverse leadership and benefits all employees and customers. And fresh, adaptive leadership includes diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) training and includes an inclusive leadership development program as part of that DEIB training. As the torchbearer for entrepreneurial leadership education, Babson offers leadership courses, taught by industry experts, that you can fit into your diversity leadership training.
The benefits of inclusive leadership go beyond creating an atmosphere where everyone feels supported and empowered, though that is an important factor. Inclusive leadership training is needed to truly reimagine how to change an organization from within, creating a culture where all genders and underrepresented groups can succeed and have equitable representation in the C-suite and on corporate boards. Companies that embrace leadership diversity training along with a truly inclusive leadership style are better at innovation, gain more market share, are more competitive in the hunt for top talent, and outperform less diverse competitors.
Babson Executive Education’s experts in inclusive leadership who lead our leadership development programs bring field research in leadership, women’s access to capital, corporate social responsibility, and more to their work. They lead and facilitate inclusive leadership workshops, arming organizations such as Google, Comcast, PWC, Rapid7, and Wells Fargo with the expertise and action plans needed to make measurable progress in diversity, inclusivity, and equity.
If we want more women leaders and more diverse leadership in general, we need men in powerful positions to support their ascension. How should men approach mentoring in today’s workplace? Babson Professor Wendy Murphy weighs in.
Susan Duffy says companies need to stop confining discussions of gender to women-centric events and instead normalize gender diversity throughout their organizations.
Companies need to prepare to meet future crises with sound balance sheets, caring leadership, and genuine compassion, says Raj Sisodia.
For an organization to reach its full potential, its leaders must treat increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion as a core competency. We call this inclusive leadership—see what it means at Babson and how our programs can help.
