Enact Leadership’s Approach to Developing Diverse & Inclusive Organizations

/in Diversity, Leadership Development, Trends/by

Enact Leadership helps organizations and their leaders build diverse, equitable and inclusive cultures. We work with organizations and individuals to move beyond awareness and drive action. Enact has created the 4A’s Model to solve the toughest organizational challenges in this domain.

Enact Leadership’s 4A Model to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Awareness:

Self-examination about an individual and organization’s world view. What is the individual’s personal story? How do they see the world? How did this shape their biases and impact micro-aggressive behaviors?  What data has the organization gathered? What is the specific context and opportunities do they see?

Alignment:

In this phase, we work to align participants within their specific teams as well as to align to the organization’s larger stated goals. It is not enough to simply state the organization’s goals. Each individual needs to understand his/her role in creating an inclusive work culture.

Action:

Diversity and inclusion initiatives require conscious action through courageous conversations. Enact focuses on a variety of hands-on activities, tools and techniques to help individuals take action, engage in courageous conversations, and seek opportunities to be allies for others.

Accountability:

For any initiative to be successful, there must be personal accountability. Our approach teaches leaders how to hold themselves and others accountable, deliver on commitments and address the impact when those commitments aren’t met.

Enact’s 4A’s model is the foundation of our Inclusive Leadership Programs. We offer organizational solutions to meet a variety of diversity, equity and inclusion needs. Whether you want a workshop to introduce the topic of inclusion or you are looking to launch an organization-wide strategy, Enact can help.
