Organizational growth requires partnering, particularly for very complicated issues.  Issues that require specialty knowledge and mass resources.  Issues that impact many and require strong, long-term human relationships.  I give examples of this in "How collaborative will you be?" https://lnkd.in/gwCYEJvf.

When leaders build explicitly inclusive practices into their team culture, they’ll quickly see improvements in performance, agility, and trust. DEI expert and senior business consultant Barbara Adachi, NACD.DC dug into the power of intentional inclusion in a recent conversation with Lori Nishiura Mackenzie and Mike Arauz. 🔥 She mentions several explicit practices leaders can use to build inclusion in a concrete way. These tools are detailed in the recently-released Board Culture Playbook from Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab.
