Developing Leaders for Disruptive Change: An Inclusive Leadership Approach (2022)
Sara V. Simmons, Robert M. Yawson
Across all sectors, leadership decision-makers question how to professionally develop leaders who foster cohesive, collaborative, and high-performing workforce environments in diverse organizations. They doubt the efficacy of traditional leadership development modalities when confronted by unpredictable emerging workforce and workplace challenges. The article’s conceptual framework is centered on the premise that the best interaction between the leader and the led in diverse organizations is inclusive leadership. Leaders who deliberately role model inclusive leadership behaviors create a culture where everyone works to their full potential, stimulate learning organizations, and catalyze workforce relationships towards achieving strategic goals.
