Stepping into Inclusion

Stepping into Inclusion encourages business leaders to examine the way they make decisions about talent when hiring, promoting, and developing the people they lead. It's a personal journey a leader must take to connect who they are to what they do. Author Jaclyn Weitzenfeld uses her positive experience with Alcoholics Anonymous to develop a framework that brings inclusion to the forefront of how one leads, and create an environment filled with diverse experiences, stronger working relationships, and better business outcomes. By consistently working these steps, you will be equipped to reconsider your beliefs regarding talent and decisions at work. And in so doing, you'll optimize your organizational performance and build a better workplace culture. Stepping into Inclusion's framework is designed to evolve over time, because inclusion—and how we define it—will evolve in the workplace. As you grow as a person and as a leader, what is important to you will naturally evolve. The way in which you create a sense of belonging will need to evolve with the inevitable change companies face in our ever-changing world. As leaders, we are responsible for continuing to lead inclusively so people can find their place within the organizations in which they work and thrive (for the company and their career). This work offers you the tools needed to make thoughtful, inclusive decisions with the purposeful intention to make you excited about changes that lie ahead. Are you making the necessary leadership choices toward inclusion and diversity?
