About this event
In this Mentoring Matters Talk, Jossie Haines is going to share with us how to leverage empathetic leadership to build inclusive teams that thrive and produce amazing products that delight customers and are profitable. Especially given the challenges in our world today between COVID-19, racial injustice and remote work, we need to focus now more than ever on building inclusive cultures that empower underrepresented groups and women to thrive and be heard.
Leaders need to focus on both holistic diversity, equity and inclusion strategies as well as embracing effective and fair management practices to be able to move the needle. Empathy is the foundation that can be used to unify all the different strategies and practices. Through daily practice and action, leaders can embrace empathy to build inclusive teams that truly solve the challenges of our diverse world.
