Modern leadership goes beyond delivering business results — it is about responsible workplaces where everyone feels they belong, can be authentic, and contribute their full potential. Inclusive leaders understand the importance of nurturing such environments – for themselves and others.
To lead inclusively starts with knowing oneself. The more nuanced we understand and have compassion with ourselves, the more we are able to see, value and invite the unique traits and viewpoints of others. Inclusive leaders also bring specific skills to unleash the potential of their team members and colleagues. These leaders, like conductors, know how critical their visible leadership is and orchestrate their teams’ efforts effectively to achieve harmony together.
Inclusive leaders continuously strive to be their best selves and to ensure that everyone is seen, heard, and valued. Given today’s leadership complexities and business demands, they might, however, not find themselves having the impact they hope for, or struggle to be confident and consistent in pursuing their vision. Are you one of them? If so, ESMT Berlin’s Inclusive Leadership program could be the perfect fit for you.
