IntroductionNational Urban Fellows (2017) defines inclusion as “being at the table at all levels of the organization, being a valued contributor and being fully responsible for your contribution to the ultimate result.” An inclusive leader, therefore, is one who brings all members of a team to the table so that their input can be effectively communicated and received. It recognizes that a diverse team has valuable perspectives that, when contributed in a meaningful way, helps to form a more unified front that leads to a cohesive organizational culture. With a team whose new members are from Germany, Greece, Iran and Singapore there are considerable differences to be expected. As the GLOBE data indicates, the German and Greek members are more likely to be assertive than the Iranian and Singaporean members, while the member from Singapore is most likely to be the most future oriented. Gender equality is not likely to be especially high as an ideal among any of the four new members but other issues like a sense of individualism vs. collectivism is more likely to be strongly felt by the Asian member than by the Western members. Understanding how ethnicity and communication style are likely to be presented, it is crucial for inclusive leaders to know what to expect and how to prepare so that the team can work to promote a positive organizational culture that will enrich one and all.
Inclusive Leadership

Inclusive leaders will display a willingness to hear others but also the skills necessary...
Inclusive leaders have to be socially, culturally and emotionally aware of how interactions affect others based on cultural backgrounds and expectations. Additionally, by knowing how various cultures communicate in the workplace, inclusive leaders can help to create the right type of environment of respect and appreciation among members (Maier-Lorentz & Leininger, 2008).
Key Leadership Skills
Key leadership skills needed to create an inclusive organizational culture include the ability to build networking bridges—i.e., to align members of the team who are most compatible so that they can work productively with one another; the ability to demonstrate respect to all people of all backgrounds so that a culture of appreciation and openness is generated by the example of the leader; the ability to build and strengthen relationships among workers who are less compatible so that they may be able to work together well in the future—a task that requires extensive planning and preparation and the implementation of team building exercises where different members are paired with people whose views and methods of communication contrast so that they can work on learning the ways to communicate more effectively; and the ability to promote awareness within the team. All of these skills help to shape the culture and to promote…
Role of Inclusive Leadership in Strengthening the Organizational Culture among a Diverse Global Group of Employees Today, organizations are comprised of an increasingly diverse group of employees from different cultures. Leading a diverse group of employees can be a daunting enterprise, particularly if these cross-cultural differences are not taken into account. To gain to new insights into these issues, this paper provides an overview of the traits of inclusive leadership, an
Besides being the process through which information is exchanged throughout the organization, communication is a critical job skill because it directly influences the management of interpersonal relationships. This is true at the organizational as well as the individual level. Indeed, this is precisely the reason why organizations need to focus on important aspects of effective interpersonal communication, including communication systems, perception, verbal and nonverbal communication, networks and channels, listening

The trend of a global marketplace has given rise to needs for multinational companies. Literature on global business, HR development and management, social problems, etc. has, of late, greatly focused on the key subject of global leadership efficacy (Caligiuri & Tarique, 2012). Leadership represents a central element of every firm. However, leadership ability and function is increasing in complexity with enhanced engagement in technological development and globalization (Ulrich & Smallwood,
Team building, group dynamics, talent management, leadership development, and any number of other functional areas are much more about clarity, focus, aligning expectations, and defining roles than creating equality" (Myatt, 2012). In the last twenty years, organizations have come to the realization that the better their employees are at working together, the more successful their organizations will be. Reductions in budgets in the public sector mean that there is an
