Why Inclusive Leadership Matters
Leaders set the tone for inclusion. Their behaviors shape team dynamics, trust, and a sense of belonging. Our development framework helps you build leadership excellence by identifying high-impact areas for inclusive growth, offering feedback grounded in employee experience, and driving accountability through data, not assumptions.
Dimensions of inclusivity
Each employee’s feedback helps generate a multi-dimensional view of how leadership is perceived, based on:
Beliefs – Do leaders genuinely value diversity and inclusion?
Conviction – How strongly do they express and stand by inclusive values?
Voice Climate – Do they create space for others to speak up without fear?

Three types of inclusive leaders
Our approach helps you track how leadership mindsets evolve over time, providing early signals of cultural progress and leadership effectiveness. We categorize leaders into three profiles to guide targeted support and training.
The Traditionalist – Believes success is based on merit and effort, assuming the workplace is already fair. Responds to data linking inclusion to performance.

The Investigator – Questions whether advancement is truly merit-based and is open to learning about bias. Influenced by research on fair decision-making.

The Inclusivist – Recognizes workplace barriers and believes diverse teams drive better outcomes. Inspired by role models who champion fairness and equity.
