Description
This is part two of a three-part exclusive fireside chat series.  Part One: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1849741/12846931 Part Three: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1849741/12930595 From interns to CEOs, I've worked with a wide array of leaders across all levels of organizations. Naturally, I wondered, who could truly benefit from embracing the principles of inclusive leadership? Dr. Tettey's response? Simple, yet profound. "Everywhere, and for everyone." Intrigued? Let's dive a little deeper… Inclusion is more than a buzzword. It’s a call to amplify every voice in the room. This isn't a power game—it's an empowerment game. The most important takeaway is that inclusion isn't an afterthought, or another box to check on your leadership agenda. It’s developing the awareness that each person on the team, irrespective of role, title, or status, contributes in their unique way. As inclusive leaders, we must acknowledge and appreciate these differences. This way, the whole team SHINES. Dr. Wisdom Tettey is the Vice President at the University of Toronto, and Principal at the University of Toronto Scarborough, as well as a professor of political science and development studies.  This conversation is co-hosted by Michel Shah, founder and president of the UpSkill Corporation. Michel is faculty at George Brown College and Program Director of the Master's Certificate in Leadership at Schulich Exec Ed, York University, based in Toronto.  Want to join in on the conversation?
