A New Society, a new education!

For anyone interested in the science behind Inclusion, here is a breaktrough article.  It is detailed and lengthy, but educational AND very relevant. 

Abstract:

Research over the past three decades have demonstrated that even though organisations may have the requisite diversity in their midst, the employees may not feel that all the strands of their social identities may be appreciated and included – hence, leaving them feeling excluded. Unfortunately, there are not many available tools for organizations to gauge such desired levels of inclusion.

Our research sets out to establish the psychometric development and the validity of the ten dimensions of one such tool, and provide rigorous, statistical evidence for its ability to establish whether an organisation has indeed engendered an inclusive environment for its employees.
The dimensions are:

~senior managers,

~immediate manager,

~values, recruitment,

~promotion/progression & development,

~fitting in,

~bullying/harassment,

~dialogue,

~organisational belonging, and

~ emotional well-being. 

The overall measurement within the ten dimensions provides and index, which gives organisations an indication of where their diversity and inclusion practices are failing, and where resources and effort are needed to be applied to achieve the necessary change. 

He quedado algo inquieta al leer este artículo. Quiero, al compartir este artículo, hacer énfasis en la ausencia de aspectos tan importantes y críticos en la educación de nuevos líderes, la ética o el compromiso social como llaves para el éxito de toda comunidad. 

Some things are ageless - that would be Peter Drucker. My one book would be Managing in Turbluent Times recommended by former CEO of Moss Adams and former CHair of AICPA & IFAC, Bob Bunting. Great article!

There it is... the challenge of management on one page.  Being all of these things is a tall order.  Many are up for it, few really live it.... great infographic! 

Love me some infographics.

Leadership qualities.

, as soon as they stop seeing it as one-way communication....

"Online learning social communities exist which cater to all learning styles, all skill sets and personalities, native abilities and educational needs.

Available to employees on-demand as well as via mobile devices and tablets, online learning communities remove barriers dear to the hearts of brick-and-mortar universities and companies."

~I completey agree!
