The 7 Simple Habits of Inclusive Leaders

Inclusion is more than a moral obligation; it's a competitive advantage.

Inclusive leadership expert Melissa Majors is an innovator and optimizer of inclusion, leadership, and education strategies. In The 7 Habits of Inclusive Leaders, she reveals how great leaders enjoy superior team performance and drive much higher profitability by incorporating inclusive practices.

These behaviors fall into seven categories:

1. Perspectives

2. Hiring Decisions

3. Mindset

4. Leading Self and Others

5. Empathy

6. Collaboration

7. Values and Strategy Design

Majors delivers clarity on how our "Neanderthal'ish" brains are to blame for why leaders unintentionally exclude others. Through storytelling, research, and personal experiences, she offers a common-sense yet compelling and actionable approach to inclusion. She argues that people shouldn't feel guilty or defensive when having inclusion-related conversations; the brain is to blame, not people.
