Key concepts
- It’s important to keep in mind that society and what is seen as ‘typical’ affects how we see leadership.
- The traditional view of leadership focused on people in positions of authority and power who often led by giving instructions and keeping control.
- Transformational leadership is about seeing the value of the differences we all bring in perspective, background, and experience.
- Inclusive leadership is essential and diverse teams are more innovative, resilient, and open to change.
- Transformational leadership styles recognise leaders are everywhere and come in all shapes and sizes.
- We can challenge the historic, traditional leadership style to make room for inclusive transformational leadership style. For example, by supporting women and gender diverse people with disabilities to become leaders.
