WANT TO BE AN INCLUSIVE COURAGEOUS LEADER?

IT STARTS HERE!

It's easy to be courageous when someone is there to help you out. Finding your voice takes less effort when the odds are in your favor and the risk is low. It has been said, "When a community excludes even one member it's not a community at all!" Too often we talk about the need for tolerance as though that is sufficient. Becoming tolerant is not a destination; it is a step on the journey to valuing and respecting others. Would you feel that you're being tolerated; it seems like someone is putting up with you. This feeling can have a detrimental impact on the morale, engagement, and productivity of individuals in the workplace, on teams, on the success of leaders, and the effectiveness of organizations.

The most important asset an organization has lies between the ears of its people. We asked over 10,000 people in 14 organizations; what percentage of your best efforts do you give at work on a regular basis? 57% self-stated they give less than 100% effort on a regular basis. When asked what would incentivize them to give more effort in the workplace; the number one answer wasn't pay, perks, or benefits. The top answer was having a boss that treats me with dignity and respect!
