About this ebook
Human potential is unleashed when we feel like we belong. That's why inclusive workplaces experience higher engagement, performance, and profits. But the reality is that many people still feel unable to bring their true selves to work. In a world where the talent pool is becoming increasingly diverse, it's more important than ever for leaders to truly understand how to support inclusion.
Drawing on years of work with many leading organizations, Jennifer Brown shows what leaders at any level can do to spark real change. She guides readers through the Inclusive Leader Continuum, a set of four developmental stages: unaware, aware, active, and advocate. Brown describes the hallmarks of each stage, the behaviors and mind-sets that inform it, and what readers can do to keep progressing. Whether you're a powerful CEO or a new employee without direct reports, there are actions you can take that can drastically change the day-to-day reality for your colleagues and the trajectory of your organization.
Anyone can—and should—be an inclusive leader. Brown lays out simple steps to help you understand your role, boost your self-awareness, take action, and become a better version of yourself in the process. This book will meet you where you are and provide a road map to create a workplace of greater mutual understanding where everyone's talents can shine.

Reviews for How to Be an Inclusive Leader
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A motivator for readers through her own life to explain that "action" is the proof of an inclusive leader. She does touch on what it can happen once someone decides to voice concern for other people inside a corporation.
I listened to a leader asked "What is your blind spot?" and I guess that is why I read the book. I still need to go beyond sympathy to action. I guess I am in the second stage of her cycle (unaware - aware - action - advocate)
