Greatheart Develops Inclusive Leaders for Courageous Cultures

The business case for global diversity and inclusion (D&I) is well established: D&I helps to open markets, increase sales, win and retain talent, fuel high-performing teams, build partnerships, innovate efficiently, and grow an inclusive culture and brand.

Diversity work has historically focused on programming in support of people experiencing disadvantage. That is still necessary and useful, and we help it happen via our leadership development solutions. However, we are seeing that this work is only part of the solution. Increasingly, it is becoming clear that it is also essential to engage people experiencing advantage (white men for example) in D&I solutions—such engagement leads to more meaningful relationships and more inclusive cultures.

Business and social trends now push companies to optimize the results of diversity work by developing allies across every dimension of difference: men coming alongside women, white people building relationships of trust with colleagues and clients of color, etc.

This is disruptive inclusion at work: Creating unexpected business opportunity with people experiencing disadvantage, by developing the savvy and accountability of people experiencing advantage.
Everyone is included.

Leaders, with every imaginable mix of advantage and/or disadvantage, are leaning in and learning to lead more inclusively, at the very time their firms and their customers need them to do so.

Simply put, Greatheart equips all leaders to seize the advantages inherent in inclusive leadership behaviors, organizational practices, and business strategy.

When everyone is in, the company will win.
