What does real inclusion at work look like, and what role should leaders have in building it? In this episode of Leading with Integrity, I'm joined by Inclusion Strategist and Author Delphia Howze, an expert in diversity and inclusion, with 20 years leadership experience. We discuss the how and why of creating inclusive workplaces; such as the ripple effect of inclusion on trust, productivity, and innovation. With the central theme that everyone has a role in fostering an inclusive environment. Delphia shares insights from her book, 'Including You, Leading Inclusion from Where You Are,' and we talk about the need for clear definitions of diversity, equity, and inclusion, especially in the current context. The conversation also touches on the value of vulnerability in leadership, the lessons learned throughout Delphia's career, and the true legacies of impactful leaders.
