Effective Leadership is Inclusive Leadership: A Series

Online | April 8, 2025 9:00 am ET - August 28, 2025 11:00 am ET


Together we can shape, support, and sustain a culture of inclusion and belonging

Event Information

Rather than looking to one engagement for a singular solution, this series provides a multi-pronged approach that would embrace a five-month commitment to both inclusion and leadership development for leaders across multiple units. While inclusive leadership content traditionally focuses on bias, education, and various interventions, our unique approach integrates the dimension of leadership development. This method has the benefit of helping all attendees connect the human element of inclusivity with practical elements of outcomes, fairness, and professionalism. This combination elevates the work of changing hearts and minds with the addition of meaningful understandings of individual impact and influence on systems.  

The Academic Impressions inclusive leadership framework effectively aligns to the Mayo Clinic Values:   

  • Institutional primary value: The needs of the patient come first. 
  • Core values: Respect, integrity, compassion, healing, teamwork, innovation, excellence and stewardship. 
  • Values-driven culture.
