Leadership and diversity are intrinsically linked concepts and essential for driving organisational success in today’s globalised world.
By championing diversity in leadership, organisations can unlock their teams’ full potential, drive innovation, and create a culture of inclusivity where everyone can thrive. This course, viewed through the lens of behavioural social sciences, will explore cognitive biases, heuristics, and decision-making within organisations. It will demonstrate how these processes influence workplace dynamics, shaping how individuals assess themselves and others, ultimately resulting in disparities in performance and rewards. Participants will also engage in hands-on experiments to deepen their understanding of these concepts discussed throughout the module. By attending this module, executives will gain access to cutting-edge research to foster inclusive practices; identify personal biases through behavioural experiments to enhance leadership, and develop a tailored plan with expert and peer support for immediate implementation.
