A roadmap to inclusive leadership: understanding disability (key no1)
Recently, I’ve put in many hours building a disability inclusion roadmap for organization leaders, with one major goal in mind; helping them embrace their disabled workforce more fully, making inclusivity a core part of their approach. If you’ve missed it, this work ultimately led to the publication of a handout titled “Unlock your 15 keys to a diverse and empowered workplace” last week, which you can download by following the link above.
In this new series starting today, I want to dive deeper into each one of these inclusive leadership keys, so you can successfully begin to unlock each one. In today’s post, the first one in this series, we’ll explore the number one key to becoming a more inclusive leader, “Understanding Disability”.
This key sets the stage for recognizing disability inclusion as a crucial aspect of a truly inclusive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) framework. For most people, this is where it all begins… because you can only help make things better if you understand what the challenge is!
