BELONG model for inclusive leaders
B
Brave space
We empower leaders to create environments where taking risks and engaging in authentic conversations are the norms. This involves establishing a safe space for open and respectful dialogue on challenging issues.
E
Equity
Inclusive leadership is justice leadership. Equity is the why behind this leadership style. Commitment to equity and social justice is what makes inclusive leadership different from other leadership styles. But how do we make sure that we cover all elements of social justice?
L
Listening
We focus on cultivating the skill of active listening in leaders. This transcends mere auditory processing to encompass understanding the context, emotions, and the unspoken nuances in communication.
O
"Our"
Central to our training is the use of inclusive language. “Our” signifies the importance of language that unites and includes, recognizing the collective contribution and value of all team members.
N
Noticing
Leaders are trained to be observant, to be aware of their own biases, team dynamics, and the implications of their decisions; to express gratitude and appreciation. This awareness is crucial for making informed, inclusive choices.
G
Good at repair
Leaders are human beings who, even with the best intentions, make mistakes. This part of the model reminds them of the importance of being open to mistakes, acknowledging them and learning from them.
“The art of communication is the language of leadership.“
– James Humes
