Inclusive Leadership

  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter begins with a description of inclusive leadership and the anticipated outcomes of more inclusive leadership practices. At the individual level, a starting point is greater self-awareness of the conscious and unconscious biases that are affecting decisions and judgments made about people in the workplace. This chapter also highlights inclusive team leadership, and more broadly the elements that will assist police leaders through the process of embracing a shift in leadership.
