Inclusive Leadership Development Lab September 22-23, 2023

WIMS Inclusive Leadership Development Lab – a course specifically for men in healthcare leadership positions to learn how to be more equitable, inclusive leaders.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The purpose of Inclusive Leadership Development Lab is to develop modern workplace leadership skills to become a more inclusive leader in healthcare. Inclusive leaders are more successful—with broader and more diverse networks, improved communications skills, and enhanced interpersonal skills including higher emotional intelligence. Organizations with leaders who practice inclusive leadership are more likely to retain employees, foster a more positive work environment, make better decisions, foster innovation, and are more productive and profitable.

Across the program, we will form a close-knit community of male leaders in healthcare aligned around the purpose of showing up as reliable allies for women in the workplace by creating an inclusive work environment. We define allyship as actively promoting gender fairness and equity in the workplace through supportive and collaborative personal relationships and public acts of sponsorship and advocacy intended to drive systemic improvements to the workplace culture.

Our mission is based on equal parts ally skill development and ally community formation. Our group should be a safe space for men to talk openly and honestly, try out new skillsets and challenging conversations around gender, and above all, demonstrate vulnerability and authenticity.
