I like to think about inclusion at the workplace as being similar to humility. Everyone wants to admit they have it, but in reality, they don’t. In a recent Deloitte survey , 80% of employees consider inclusion as an essential factor in choosing an employer. But what does having an inclusive workplace culture truly mean? Is it the same as having a diverse workforce?

The arrival of summer-like weather often leads not only to people spending more time outdoors, shaking off the dreariness of the winter months, but also discussions and planning of summer vacation breaks and spending time with family and friends away from work. Or at least it used to be. Every year, there's another study that comes out pointing out how employees are taking less and less time off from work.

Leadership isn’t about authority. Contrary to what most believe, leadership is an opportunity to serve and empower others. By creating the space for people to discover their natural talents, those at the top can help to develop leadership strengths on every level. Unfortunately, companies often fall short of actually utilizing the leadership strengths of their people because they aren’t taking the time to discern their personal talents.

We live in a whitewater world. Change is rapid, and uncertainty is unavoidable. Leaders need the ability to take their organizations safely through these waters, but the old cliches and tools are no longer useful. Instead, frameworks and approaches that have been developed specifically for the management of uncertainty and complexity are essential. How do we make sense of the world so we can act in it?

Conducting performance reviews can be tricky. Especially for managers. Sometimes there’s a huge difference between what they say and what they want to convey.To improve this, it's important that employers must practice the art of delivering constructive performance appraisal comments. In fact-. One in five employees aren't confident that their managers will provide regular, constructive feedback.

We all know someone in power who chooses to hide behind the comfort of their authority. The real task is thinking up senior executives who embody what it means to lead with transparency, honesty, and sincerity. For a company to naturally thrive, those tasked with leadership must take the time to truly understand their inner self. While it’s vital for a person to know where their strengths lie, it’s also important to understand the vulnerable parts of ourselves we often try to ignore.

If success goes to those who can innovate the fastest, how do we nurture innovation? The basics are simple to understand—but difficult to implement and stick with in the face of adversity. We need to create an environment that encourages experimentation while also tolerating, investigating and learning from the inevitable failures. It may sound easy, but executives and shareholders demand results, not “learning opportunities.
