Leadership and employee inclusion

Abstract

The relationship between leadership and inclusion is an interesting and timely avenue for research and could have important implications for practice. In this chapter we discuss the central constructs of inclusion and leadership and examine how leaders can positively affect inclusion. We discuss not only inclusive leadership but also other aspects of leadership in relation to inclusion. By discussing how to push the field forward, this chapter navigates the interplay between leadership and inclusion while offering suggestions for the continued evolution of both domains.
