Show Notes
I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin People.
Diversity in leadership is one of those topics where people tend to groan when it comes up. And the reasons for this are as diverse as many the reasons why diversity is so important for leaders. But there’s one significant, irrefutable fact that no one can deny.
Diverse groups make teams stronger.
The challenge for emerging leaders is to know how to create a diverse team, and then lead that diverse group of professionals, all of whom have varying personal and professional priorities, towards the common work-related goal.
In this episode, we’ll hear from the team at All Around Consulting, a Canadian consulting company based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Why the All-Around Consulting team, you ask? That’s a great question! And the answer is because they have created a diverse team of leaders with varying professional and personal backgrounds, and they thrive at working as a team, using their diversity as their strength to guide and mentor companies.
And so, we’ll talk about what it means to be a diverse leader, how to be a leader who genuinely embodies diversity in their leadership ethos, and finally, we’ll offer some tips to help create your diverse team.
