Workplace Application: Learn how to distinguish between a leader and a manager, examine the connection between leadership and organizational success and how to build an inclusive environment.

This session is recommended for senior and executive D&I practitioners. The demographics of today’s workforce are becoming more and more diverse, and it’s not just about race and gender. The many dimensions of diversity include, but are not limited to: age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, language, work and communication styles, and globalization. This poses a challenge for leaders who are trying to create inclusive teams from such diverse perspectives. This session uses a documentary titled “From Breakdown to Breakthrough: A Story of Inclusion” as a catalyst to demonstrate how a diverse team can accomplish a daunting goal. The ensuing discussion pulls many workplace applications from the film.
