An organization is only as inclusive as the people in it. As employers look to embed inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) into their DNA, a vital tool in the toolbox is inclusive leadership, ensuring that the leaders in their organization are acting inclusively, supporting the overall IDEA strategy. But what does it take to be an inclusive leader? And why aren't more leaders acting inclusively?

The Four Fundamentals of Inclusive Leadership focuses on understanding bias, cultural competence, empathy, and privilege, which leaders must comprehend to actively make their organization more inclusive. Leveraging the research for his book Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right and his extensive experience in inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility, Michael Bach lays out the details of the four ingredients to help create inclusive leaders.
