Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for ambitious corporate women who expect more from their careers.
My guest today is Angela Sagoe-Crentsil, Partner at PwC Melbourne and we are talking about how to be a more inclusive leader.
Team Inclusivity is both a leader and group behaviour aimed at encouraging everyone in a group to feel heard and as if their input matters.
Inclusivity goes straight to the heart of our deepest human values: that of belonging and validation and corporate leaders have a responsibility to ensure those values are met for each individual team player.
Inclusivity is about leveraging the diversity of a group whether that be diversity of background, gender, race, experience, expertise, culture and cognitive experience. Research has repeatedly shown that groups with greater diversity, inclusivity, and a culture of psychological safety are more effective and collaborative and ultimately produce more robust decision making.
In this episode, Angela and I explore:
Angela says:
"Inclusivity takes effort and deliberate mindfulness to catch yourself in those moments to pause and think about how to integrate each other. Inclusivity helps team members feel heard and valued which allows them to freely express themselves and then [give them the confidence to] tap into their own potential."
