The Impact of Inclusive Leadership

Increasing representation in leadership roles has been a long-stated goal of many organizations, while studies have shown that doing this can in fact lead to greater profitability and better HR outcomes. However, actually building a diverse leadership pipeline has been easier said than done. Organizations’ efforts have largely been hindered by an over-reliance on records of past performance and a ‘shoulder tapping’ approach to providing critical leadership opportunities, resulting in untapped potential and hidden talent. But what if you could pivot to an evidence-based approach to better identify and develop a diverse pipeline of capable leaders ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges? In this session Dr. Jillian McLellan, vice president and Executive Assessment Practice Leader at APTMetrics, will discuss the critical role leadership assessment can play in realizing the promise of inclusive leadership.
