Weekly Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Awareness Conversations

For many of us, a new year is a chance to start fresh. It’s an opportunity to make a strong start with our teams after the successes and challenges from the previous year. In order to make improvements, leaders must build strong, resilient teams that are inclusive. The data shows diverse and inclusive teams drive better performance at work, stay more engaged and help their organizations exceed financial targets.

Leaning on your teams is essential, but your teams also require focused leadership to keep them on the right track. Your efforts as a leader make all the difference in developing stronger team performance and dynamics, which then grows your team's resilience. But for your teams to be resilient, they’ll also need to be inclusive. As McKinsey has found, when your team members feel included, they’ll feel psychologically safe enough to bring their best selves to work. In short, resilient teams are inclusive teams.
