Leading by example
The manager as a role model
The video explains ‘leading by example’ based on 4 tips.
How could leaders within your organisation apply these tips to diversity and inclusion?
- Your words should match your actions. You can only expect employees to do the things you also do or would do.
- When you see a need, take action, wether it’s a big or a small need (for example involving an employee who does not dare to speak in a meeting).
- Live by a higher personal code than the organization is asking you to do. People hold leaders to a higher standard and expect them to behave in an ethical and professional way.
- Bring out the best in the people around you: teach them, coach them, advice them in an encouraging way that helps them to move forward.
