above and below the line behaviors that leaders can model

Have you established shared expectations for behaviors in your #team?

For #managers aiming to maximize the potential of #diverse teams, having conversations about acceptable and unacceptable behaviors within the team is a crucial step towards fostering inclusivity.

The article* by Julie Kratz reminded me of the ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʙᴇʟᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɴᴇ framework - a popular behavioral model that can be used by #leaders and organizations as a tool to promote positive behaviors while addressing and correcting negative ones. It categorizes behaviors into "above the line" and "below the line."

In today's comic, you'll find examples of both below-the-line and above-the-line behaviors and communication that can either contribute to or hinder
#inclusion.

As an inclusive #leader, consider initiating a group brainstorming to identify both types of behavior within your team. This ensures collective agreement, commitment and mutual accountability.
