leading inclusively

Remote work and virtual teams are here to stay. The challenge now becomes how do leaders best engage their virtual teams? Linkage’s Director of Product Management, Jeff Duffield shares tips on how to foster a sense of belonging and create cultures of inclusion in a virtual environment.

Today, we heard from two incredible keynote speakers: #1 NYT best-selling author Glennon Doyle and award-winning broadcast journalist Soledad O’Brien. Check out key takeaways from Glennon and Soledad’s keynotes during Day 2 of the Virtual Women in Leadership Institute™.

From the classic “one-on-none” to not being heard, we’ve all experienced bad meetings, where participants have not felt included. Discover 7 tactics for hosting more inclusive meetings (both in-person and in the virtual world!) and create the meetings everyone wants to be involved with.

Linkage’s latest white paper, “The Hard Truth about Inclusion in the Workplace: What Works (and What Doesn’t)” is jam-packed with findings and recommendations for inclusion in the workplace. Check out these three findings and then download your own copy to get access to the full report.

There is no more important time to double down on our sense of purpose. What is the unique value you and your organization offer the world at a time when all our collective contributions are needed? At Linkage, our mission is to help companies equip all leaders to perform their roles at the highest levels of effectiveness and impact. In times such as these, this mission is even more critical, as we help leaders face uncertainty with confidence.

In times of crisis and uncertainty, those who can lead from a place of inclusion and high emotional intelligence will quickly differentiate themselves from those who cannot. As leaders, our teams and organizations are looking to us for inspiration and support during these critical times. How are we rising to the occasion? With these inclusive leadership practices, we can create cultures of inclusion where all voices are heard, and team members can realize their full potential.

Creating and promoting a culture of inclusion is not easy–and it takes far more than getting the right mix of people together. We must achieve diversity first, and then we can foster a true sense of inclusion over time.
