How To Be An Inclusive Leader To Diverse Teams
We manage teams of people who have intersectional identities and experiences that are more than just one characteristic - their gender, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and more. Leading teams today means embracing intersectionality and our blind spots, as well as consciously learning about others’ experiences with race and identity. In this Learning Path, you will learn how to explore your own blind spots, how to stay open to learning about the experiences of others, and how to become a racially aware leader.
