Moving to the UK, from Jamaica in 1955, Linbert Spencer OBE, always understood he was different from those around him. Recalling parts of his life story, Linbert shares his perspective on leadership and his thoughts as to why we have failed to make the progress we could have done in respect of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“The inclusive leader has an intentional relationship of influence, the purpose of which is to cause people to feel consistently included, which I would define as feeling respected, valued, trusted and safe. Then they are able to be their best self and do their best work.”
