Strong inclusive leaders derive energy and success from their entrenched values, a deep-seated need for fairness, and a compelling sense of personal responsibility for change. By consistently demonstrating courage, cognizance of biases, curiosity, cultural intelligence, and openness to collaboration, inclusive leaders invest in people, shape their organizational culture, and inspire others.
