INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP

Charlotte Sweeney

co-author

​The most successful organisations are those with the most diverse and engaged workforces. Studies show an 80% improvement in business performance among those with high diversity levels. When people feel included and able to reach their full potential, they are more engaged, more productive and often more creative.

Inclusive Leadership will help you drive culture change using organisational development principles. It takes you through the key components of leading change throughout the employee lifecycle, your supply chain, and through product development. Crucially, it will help you make a genuine impact on your business, through your people, both now and in the future.

THE BOOK

ABOUT INCLUSION

Ergin Özdemir

lead author

(available in Swedish)

Taking a closer look at who is truly included in Swedish society, it turns out that it is the heterosexual, able, middle-aged white man.

​

The authors asked ordinary people why inclusion poses a challenge even in a liberal and advanced society like Sweden and came to the surprising conclusion that we all have excellent explanations and solutions. 

​

Read this book for insights from 28 very different, very ordinary people on how we can create a society where everyone feels like they belong.
