| Leadership—including how it is defined, developed, embodied, practiced, and experienced—is an essential building block of inclusion in groups, organizations, and societies. This interactive panel will delve into the nature and components of inclusive leadership as a key element for understanding, creating, and sustaining inclusive organizations and expanding people’s experiences of inclusion. Starting from the proposition that inclusion requires shifting individual, group, and societal interactions in ways that leverage and integrate human differences and that disrupt patterns of social inequality, panelists—grounded in applied scholarship and professional practice—will describe key facets and approaches to the practice, development, and consequences of inclusive leadership, including the need for new and necessary approaches in leadership education; the importance and role of vulnerability, integrity, and agility; the ways leaders can cultivate more nuanced and complex views of employees to enhance inclusion; and the implications of how inclusion is experienced in different settings for leadership behavior. The symposium will incorporate ample time for interaction and dialogue among panelists and with the audience. |
