Abstract

The perspective of diversity and inclusion is the next step in the evolution of Leadership . Leaders who demonstrate cultural competence in D&I will ascend toward the next level of transforming the global marketplace . The interdependent nature of diverse global relationships will also require leadership perspectives that include awareness of current global challenges, strategies, and initiatives. This chapter will explore another level of diversity and inclusion, including different leadership characteristics described as “inclusive leadership behavior ,” “inclusive influence ,” and “inclusive organizational behavior .” The combination of these diverse leadership characteristics builds the foundation for an “Inclusion Leadership Model ” that will support the vision for diversity and inclusion in the twenty-first century.
