Beyond the Labels: The Real Work of Inclusive Leadership

DEI initiatives may be under scrutiny, but the need for leaders who can create cultures of trust, belonging, and innovation has never been greater. Organizations are quietly moving away from divisive labels but not from the outcomes they hoped those initiatives would deliver.
In this timely session, David Lapin, thought leader on leadership and organizational culture, will challenge conventional thinking about inclusion. He’ll show why the future of leadership isn’t about compliance or mandates; it’s about expanding perspectives, leading with dignity, and practicing authentic respect and courtesy in every interaction.
This is a call for leaders who want to move beyond buzzwords and focus on the human work that drives performance, trust, and engagement.
Participants will...
- Understand why inclusive leadership remains essential — even as traditional DEI programs face backlash.
- Learn how dignity, respect, and courtesy form the foundation for trust and belonging.
- Explore practical ways to expand their leadership perspective and bridge divides within teams.
- Gain a framework for building cultures of inclusion and high performance rooted in values, not labels.
