Inclusive Leadership

Your journey begins with a focus on understanding yourself as a leader. The day opens with an introduction to diversity profiles and positionality, helping you recognize the unique perspectives each participant brings. Through small group discussions, you'll explore your own positionality and the impact it has on your leadership approach.

You'll then undergo an interactive workshop that dives deeper into these reflections. The day wraps up with an inspiring keynote on reinventing yourself and driving complex, sustainable change.

On the second day, the focus shifts to understanding the broader context of DEIB. You’ll engage with real-world mini-cases and scenarios that highlight challenges and opportunities in diversity and inclusion. Our faculty will guide you through key academic concepts, enriched by global examples, such as high-profile DEI initiatives and events.

The afternoon brings a case study on adaptive leadership and a deep dive into your own inclusive leadership vision. You will end your day with an optional city tour, offering insights into Berlin’s diverse communities, from queer to migrant perspectives. 

Day three is all about practical application. You’ll delve into concepts like discrimination, privilege, and allyship, and apply them to real-world situations. Through case discussions, you'll identify actionable steps for fostering inclusion in your organization. The day includes sessions on leading effectively in tense or non-compassionate environments.

By the end of the day, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the psychological and organizational challenges that come with ensuring a sense of belonging and wrap up with reflection and networking. 

The final half-day is dedicated to setting your course as an inclusive leader. You'll practice building credibility within your teams and receive peer feedback on how you’ve shown up as a leader throughout the program. Individual action planning helps you create a concrete path forward, ensuring that the insights and skills you've developed will have a lasting impact on your leadership and organization.

The program concludes with a reflective session, giving you the space to consolidate your learning and commit to your leadership vision.
