Topics discussed during the Inclusive leadership & LEADIN live ...
👉Transition from Tactical to Strategic: Sile discusses the importance of moving from a tactical to a strategic approach in inclusive leadership. A leadership strategy should be based on individual identity and aligned with broader organisational goals.
👉Inclusion Beyond Identity: Inclusion should not be limited to identity-based efforts. It should also consider other facets like experience, values, and insights.
👉Promotional Opportunities: In the Irish context, non-Irish individuals often face challenges in getting promotional opportunities. The speaker plans to conduct a survey to explore this issue further.
👉Inclusive Leadership as a Process: Inclusive leadership is not a goal but a process that requires ongoing effort. It involves solving problems with people, not for them.
👉 Challenges in Practice: One of the main challenges is the gap between understanding the concept of inclusive leadership and actually practicing it. Sile emphasises that inclusive leadership should be practical and applicable in the workplace.
👉 Organisational Boundaries: Leaders often struggle with balancing inclusivity and existing organisational boundaries. Sile suggests that this is a nuanced issue that requires careful consideration.
👉 Inclusive Leadership and Innovation: Inclusive leadership is directly linked to innovation and creativity. It helps in mobilising teams and stakeholders to solve problems collectively.
👉 Self-Perception and Competence: People who think they are more inclusive often tend to be less so. This is because as one becomes more competent, they become more aware of the nuances and challenges involved.
👉 Time Investment: Inclusive leadership may require more time upfront but saves time in the long run by preventing problems and fostering a more cohesive team.
👉Unexpected Benefits: Those who practice inclusive leadership often find that it also improves their personal relationships.
👉The video comprehensively examines inclusive leadership, discussing its challenges, benefits, and practical applications. It emphasises the need for a strategic approach and the importance of making it a continuous process rather than a one-time goal.
