How to Remain Unstoppable and Inclusive Amid DEI Backlash
Backlash. Resistance. Pushback. Dismantle. Today, these are the terms all too often connected to DEI—diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our workplaces and professional environments represent a microcosm of an increasingly polarized, politicized society. Some leaders feel compelled to distance themselves and their organizations from DEI. Yet, others remain unstoppable in their commitment to building and reaping the benefits of diverse, equitable, and inclusive cultures. Becoming this type of inclusive leader in today’s anti-DEI environments requires learning new leadership styles and approaches. This session builds upon inclusive leadership theory that emerged in management literature in 2006 and incorporates contemporary research and management practices. Participants will gain evidence-based, practical tips and techniques to address real-world challenges to inclusive leadership. Participants will also be inspired to sustain the unstoppable spirit that leads all team members to feel welcomed, respected, and valued ... thus producing better organizational outcomes.
