Unconscious Bias & Diversity

Adopting authentic Inclusive Leadership practices with a clear focus on working towards eradicating Unconscious Bias defines to a large extent the high performing leader from their relatively successful yet unexceptional peer group members. Inclusive leadership helps to describe how the achievement of high performing relationships can support the achievement of great outcomes at both a commercial (for the business) and personal (for the individual) level. Inclusive leadership simply means collaborating with people to overcome challenges, issues and business imperatives, rather than strictly managing people in the traditional sense, with the mind-set that “the leader knows best”. This is the spirit of inclusive leadership and this approach leads to a far more engaging and mutually beneficial partnership that will ultimately drive a high performance culture.

On a basic psychological level the concept of unconscious bias is established in most, if not all of us. These biases can contribute to forming our basic assumptions on how we view another person, this can be as simple as our inherent like or dislike of another them simply by the way they look, act, behave or sound like.

This workshop offers inspiration, guidance and clarity around some key ethical issues which we all face in our busy lives. Our decisions and actions affect others, so our decisions and actions need to be sound and our judgements and behaviour need to be based not only on corporate compliance but observance to the correct moral and ethical path, offering a fair and inclusive style of leadership that all followers can benefit from.
