Synopsis

Strategies and tools to become a better leader by developing an inclusive perspective at work

Instead of seeing inclusiveness as a “trendy concept,” The Contemporary Leader: The Value of Inclusion in Successful Leadership shows its audience on how inclusion is an emotion that is achieved only through effective practice abilities. This book delves into what inclusiveness promises us, discusses the relationship between inclusiveness, productivity, and diversity, evaluates concepts that are useful for us to increase our capacity for inclusion and looks at the obstacles that stand in the way of inclusion (such as unconscious prejudices) to help teach readers understand how to change and become an inclusive leader.

Written by Dr. Riza Kadilar, President of European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC Global), this book explores topics including:

• How inclusion is effected when people feel respected, valued, trusted and safe, have a sense of belonging and are able to be their best self
• Why diversity in aspects like age, appearance, culture and education can be turned into a benefit for any organisation
• Why leaders must regard the differences, and not be regardless of the differences, of their team members

The Contemporary Leader earns a well deserved spot on the bookshelves of all coaches and mentors, business leaders, HR professionals and managers who seek to reinvent their perspective surrounding timely interpersonal topics and achieve greater organisational cohesiveness and success as a result.
