Inclusive Leadership Executive Education

Vision | Knowledge | Confidence

Inclusive Leadership

Northwestern ELOC Inclusive Leadership courses equip and engage mid- to senior-level leaders with the knowledge, skills, and community of practice you need to drive meaningful organizational change in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ).

Our focus is on a change management approach to leading equity and inclusion, supporting change at personal, team, and organizational levels. We use this focus because all DEIJ work is change work, and all change work (mergers, digital transformations, organizational redesigns, etc.) has the potential to be designed and executed inclusively and equitably.

Our approach to DEIJ education and leadership training is differentiated through our emphasis on leading change management and centering topics like identity, culture, intercultural competency, business transformation, change resistance, measurement, accountability, and systemic barriers to change.

Reimagining DEI for Strategic Change 
Effectively plan and execute diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) change in teams and organizations. Build on your awareness of the relationship between social identities and people's workplace experiences to understand how to conceive and execute sustainable organizational strategies and DEIJ initiatives (rather than one-off projects).

Leadership Essentials: Inclusion and Belonging
Understand how individual identities and institutional/structural inequities impact workplace experiences and efficiency of individuals and teams. Expand your leadership toolkit and effectively lead organizational design and change initiatives that support the needs of organizations and their diverse employees, customers, and stakeholders.
