Applying Inclusive Leadership Practices

Organizations that prioritize inclusive leadership tend to outperform their peers in terms of innovation, employee engagement, and financial performance. Inclusive leadership fosters relationships, generates trust among team members, and creates a sense of belonging to the workplace community. An executive summary provides a concise overview of key points, findings, and recommendations, enabling busy executives to quickly grasp the main insights and make informed decisions. Focus on either a problem or an opportunity in your selected organization or relevant context that could be addressed through inclusive leadership practices. In this assignment, you will synthesize Roberson and Perry (2022) with additional research to make recommendations related to inclusive leadership needs in your selected organization. Then, you will compose a 1 page executive summary for senior leadership stakeholders. Step 1 Review the module readings, presentations, and discussion. Look closely at Roberson and Perry’s (2022) emergent themes and behaviors related to inclusive leadership. Step 2 Download Executive Summary Template and preview all sections. Use your current or future organization for this assignment. Gather background information and context to pinpoint an opportunity to improve inclusive leadership practices. Use the following questions to gather background information: What existing diversity and inclusion initiatives or programs does the organization have in place? What is the relationship between stakeholder perceptions and organizational culture? Then, select one challenge or opportunity as the focus of the executive summary. Compose the Background and Context section of the template. Step 3 Use an external site., course materials, and other scholarly or professional sources to research your identified challenge or opportunity. You will cite Roberson and Perry (2020) and at least two additional sources in your executive summary. Use the following questions to guide your research: What strategies have successfully fostered a culture of inclusion within teams facing challenges in similar organizations? Which inclusive practices have been linked to leadership effectiveness in similar organizations? What actionable, evidence-based recommendations could you make to address the challenge or opportunity? Compose the remaining sections of the executive summary.
