Leaders estimate INACCURATELY how inclusive they are

The research* involving 3,500 ratings by employees of 450 leaders, found leaders often inaccurately estimatehow inclusive they really are:

🔹32% overrated their capabilities
🔹33% underrated their capabilities

The study showed that leaders couldn't identify which specific behaviors actually have an impact on being rated as more or less inclusive.

One can’t become an inclusive leader not knowing what it actually means.

In order to build an authentic, visible, sustainable culture of belonging, invest in your leaders understanding how being inclusive translates into their for your daily habits of interactions with their team.

How do you see this research in relation to the leaders in your organizations or leader you’ve worked with? Is the inclusion concept clear for them enough so they practice it daily or is it still rather an abstract term?
