There\u2019s a particular topic that is rarely far from the top of our minds at JUNO as we continuously improve our Programs – in particular the 12-week Adaptive Leaders Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That topic is – Inclusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Inclusion: welcoming, understanding, embracing, and leveraging diversity and difference. Diversity of mindset and thought, as well as the more well known and classically spoken about areas of diversity – gender, race, culture, creed and so on. There\u2019s diversity and difference in working arrangements and settings too these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other area of diversity and difference that we at JUNO are very alive to is that of opportunity and circumstance – those words are code for – disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The JUNO niche is working with many in society that have \u2018fallen through the cracks\u2019 in some way. Those that haven\u2019t had opportunities. Those that find themselves in the most testing and trying of circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leading in modern times is challenging on so many levels. Leading \u2018inclusively\u2019 adds another dimension to the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s an art and science to it all. I think it was that seminal Harvard piece from \u2018back in the day\u2019 that said something like – \u2018leadership is an improvisational art\u2019. Indeed it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inclusive leadership goes beyond traditional leadership strategies by recognising, valuing and leveraging difference. Integrating best practice into an organisation requires the identification of pathways to inclusion, and the removal of barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Micro-acts, and micro-components that accompany the big plans and the overarching strategy are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2024 is all but guaranteed to see requirements and expectations of more diversity and inclusion not less. There\u2019s some big questions in this space that never go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buoyed by our recent Certification as a Social Trader, we\u2019ll be continuing to do \u2018Business For Good\u2019 at JUNO in 2024 and beyond. If you are in need of assistance to help your Leaders at all levels acclimate to the current Inclusion landscape, we are but a phone call or an email away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we\u2019d love to partner with you – inclusively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At JUNO we read plenty and we listen to lots connected to Leadership, Leadership Development, Coaching and more. We have too, to stay current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each month we\u2019ll include a link (or two or three) to an article or podcast that is topical and timely for you to read or listen to and reflect on. Curating and sharing is just our humble way of contributing to the pursuit of excellence in all things leading and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this month:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2p2dn3wy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
