WACUBO: The Future of Higher Education - Shaping Your Institution and Leaders Through and After the Pandemic

The Strategic Imperative of Diversity and Inclusion - Maximizing uniqueness and belonging to build more innovative teams

Presenter: Howard Teibel and Stefanie Johnson

In this time of uncertainty and change, the principles of diversity and inclusion have been lifted as an explicit strategic imperative across the country. How can we engage and mobilize our teams to demonstrate a commitment to inclusive hiring practices and transform the make-up of our student body?

In this session we will engage in a conversation on the growing need for inclusion and explore our own unconscious bias that keep us from creating a diverse community.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will:

  • Understand the two basic human motives (uniqueness and belonging)

  • Learn how leaders miss out on these basic human motives

  • Build effective strategies to build uniqueness and belonging in organizations
