Inclusion Action Tip # 8

Your calendar shows if you are inclusive or not…

  • As a leader, who you make time for, and how much, says a lot about how you value the diversity of your team.
  • When a leader makes time for our peers, but not us, it breaks trust, and makes us feel like we don’t belong.
  • Try this : List all your team members and how much time you spent with each of them in the last 90 days (1x1s, social & work events, informal chats) – Is it equal? b) Did any get rescheduled more often? Why?
  • Try this : Make a commitment to stop by every team member in the next week. Track it.
