Ashish Kothari explains that inclusive leadership means actively recognizing and celebrating differences, bringing diverse perspectives to light, and ensuring all voices are heard in team meetings.
Letting people in the room isn't including them. And so I created the word inclusive to try to make it sound more like an action. You actually have to do something. And if we want to take it to the extreme definition in the book, it's really living your life and leading in a way that recognizes and celebrates differences and tries to bring those differences to light and to get their perspectives. But in the more practical strategies, it's like bas basically trying to make sure everyone at the table is heard is what a more inclusive environment would be. Think of your typical team meeting. You have people sitting around a table. Some people talk a lot, some people talk a little. Do you put effort forth to hear all of those voices equally? That seems to be like the most fundamental aspect that causes people to feel included. And then you can extrapolate from that.
