Research shows that teams with inclusive leaders are 1) more likely to report that they are high-performing, 2) more likely to say they make high-quality decisions, and 3) more likely to report behaving collaboratively. Inclusive leadership is essential for ensuring varied perspectives and innovative ideas are respected, managed, heard, and applied.
