ManagingInclusion

Expanding organizational capability and unleashing untapped talent.

1

All teams have a few go-to performers. Whatcomes to mind when we think of these individuals?They are contributing their best effort andproducing their best work. They are showing upeager to contribute and feel comfortable offeringthat next great idea and even pushing back so thateven better outcomes are achieved.

Unfortunately, we have found that in most teams,only two out of 10 people operate at this “go-to”level of performance. Imagine what you, yourteam, and the organization would be able toaccomplish with more people operating at or neargo-to levels of performance.

Managing Inclusion helps leaders expandorganizational capability by unleashingunderutilized and underdeveloped talent.
