Review

The traditional view of leadership often focused on people in positions of authority and power like a CEO of a business. They often lead by giving instructions and keeping control. It’s important to keep in mind that society can affect how we see leadership. Changing the historic view of leadership means recognising the importance of diversity and working towards inclusive action. New leadership styles welcome diversity, see the value in different perspectives and life experiences, and recognise that leaders are everywhere in society. To bring about change, we must keep challenging traditional leadership styles and make room for inclusive leadership, like recognising the value women and gender diverse people with disabilities bring as leaders.
