The article emphasizes the importance for leaders to understand and address workplace bias, particularly in terms of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Three specific biases are highlighted: the win-lose mentality that breeds competition instead of collaboration; the perception of diversity as opposing merit rather than being complementary qualifications; and the need for respectful conflict resolution amidst differing views. Inclusive leadership calls for a nuanced understanding of these biases, fostering environments where skills and differences are valued collaboratively without oversimplifying complex issues.
Inclusive leaders recognize the win-lose tendency but must counter it not with simplistic narratives but with truth to build a collaborative environment.
Understanding bias involves recognizing that diversity isn't a competition but a means to acknowledge different qualifications that enhance the workplace.
