In all six cultures Catalyst studied, altruistic leader
behaviors such as empowerment and humility were
an important part of the repertoire among inclusive
leaders. Further, Catalyst found that the practice of
altruistic leadership is an effective way of helping
women and men feel included. Our results suggest
that global organizations seeking to create more
inclusive work cultures should consider how
to develop and reinforce altruistic leadership
behaviors among their talent—especially among
emerging leaders.

Inclusive leadership to support diversity in education sectormisakonverents
It is increasingly important for all organisations to be diverse and inclusive. But what does this actually mean, and how might organisations becoming more inclusive. One of the great challenges facing an organization is getting all employees to develop the competence and confidence to embrace its diversity. This workshop will provide opportunity for participants to develop understanding of diversity competence and the importance of inclusive leadership by all members of an organisation.
Effective Career Discussions (Taking Multiple Perspectives)Barry Horne
This presentation promotes expanded understanding of the manner in which employees perceive their careers and ways in which line managers, human resources managers, mentors, and career coaches can conduct effective career conversations that offer benefits to both the individual employee and the employing organisation.
Nine types of career metaphor are introduced to stimulate thinking about how employees may tend to perceive and speak about their careers (Inkson).
Career drivers (Schein) are introduced as a means of highlighting that employees are motivated differently (i.e. they are seeking different blends of rewards from working).
The Denham Career Development Model is introduced briefly to highlight the career tasks that employees undertake across their careers, while working with their organisations.
Benefits of developing an organisational career development culture are then highlighted (CIPD).
Research undertaken (Hirsch et al) into who carries out effective career discussions with employees in organisations is then presented, together with the contexts/settings in which those effective career discussions took place. Positive behaviours demonstrated by those carrying out effective career conversations with employees are then highlighted, together with the positive impacts of those career discussions.
Tips for the consideration of organisations seeking to develop strong career development cultures are then provided.

Dimensions and Characteristics of Organizational Behavior Impact and Competit...ijtsrd
The study of organizational behavior gives insight into how staff members behave and perform in the work environment. It helps us develop an understanding of the facets that can motivate staff members, enhance their efficiency, and help organizations establish a solid and also trusting relationship with their staff members. Human actions are inherent in each person which indicates his features, his way of behaving as well as assuming are his very own attributes while business actions are a group or company society special of each very own felt and also done. The study of Organizational Behavior OB is really intriguing as well as challenging too. It is related to individuals, a team of individuals collaborating in teams. The research ends up being a lot more challenging when situational factors connect. The research of organizational behavior connects to the expected behavior of an individual in the organization. No two individuals are likely to behave in the same manner in a certain work circumstance. It is the predictability of a supervisor concerning the expected behavior of an individual. There are no absolutes in human behavior. It is the human variable that is contributing to the performance hence the study of human practices is very important. Great value consequently must be affixed to the study. Dr. J.

Unconscious Bias in Singapore

Unconscious Bias
Unconscious biases are:
attitudes beyond our regular perceptions of ourselves and others
reinforced by our environment and experiences
the basis for a great deal of our patterns of behaviour about diversity.
Research is proving that we are biased towards the world around us and use stereotypes all the time. Our brains are wired towards patterns and similarity, while difference is harder to accommodate.
Adapted from Queensland Government
Impacts of Unconscious Bias
Where there is bias (conscious or unconscious) in the workplace, we continue to recruit, promote, allocate work, and manage performance with filters on our thinking. We cannot change what we do not see or acknowledge, but we can change conscious attitudes and beliefs.
Unconscious bias in the workplace can mean:
talented people are left out of your workforce or not allowed equal opportunity for development and career progression
diverse voices aren’t heard in meetings and decisions can be impaired
your culture is not genuinely demonstrating inclusive workplace principles
employees are not able to fully contribute to your organisation
creativity and productivity of your team or organisation may be compromised.
Adapted from Queensland Government
How to Overcome Unconscious Bias
Recruitment and hiring: Increase local outreach (women, minorities, veterans). Ensure a mix of interviewers and have a diverse slate of candidates. Look for bias in job descriptions. Hire talent, not just experience.
Performance reviews: It’s important to consider different cultural styles and match diverse high potentials with an executive sponsor. Ensure performance is measurable where possible.
Retention: Make sure people get credit for their ideas and be careful not to ignore, dismiss, interrupt or talk over other. Build relationships with employees you don’t know much about.
Understand your role as a leader: Make it safe to take risks and empower team members to make decisions. Take advice and implement feedback—listen, talk, discuss and give actionable feedback. Share that credit.

The Nielsen Global Digital Landscape Survey polled 30,000 online respondents in 60 countries to understand how the changing digital landscape is affecting how, where and why we watch video programming. We also examine consumption preferences for video programming, including the devices most commonly used for selected genres and the devices used to view video at home and on the go.

Understanding Inclusion Across Cultures
OnarecentassignmentinIndia,Juliewasfacilitating
a weeklong course for a group of middle managers at
hercompany’sMumbaioffice.Shewastheonlyperson
in the group who wasn’t Indian—and one of very few
women. On the first day, when the group broke for
lunch, Julie was eager to connect with the managers
more informally. Although the course had been well
received among American managers, she had doubts
about how well it would “go over” in India.
As caterers brought in boxed lunches, Julie began
to circulate among the managers. Amitabh, head of
the Mumbai office, invited the group to begin eating
but paused to recognize Julie and announce that a
speciallunchhadbeenprovidedforher.Hepresented
her with a box marked, “Deluxe.” Julie graciously
accepted but immediately became uncomfortable
at being singled out. When she opened the box, it
was hard for Julie to hide her disappointment. While
everyone else delved into delicious Indian fare, Julie
stared back at a bowl of pasta.
As the others enjoyed their meals, Julie began to
eatherstoo—notwantingtooffendherhostwhohad
gone to such great pains to make her feel welcome.
But in fact, Amitabh’s well-intentioned gesture had
quite the opposite effect. Julie was deeply affected.
“How can I connect with these managers, if they
don’t even believe I’m open-minded enough to try
the local cuisine?” she thought. For Julie, who was
already feeling like an “outsider,” eating pasta while
every else enjoyed paratha and vegetable curry set
her apart even more. Ironically, and perhaps without
even knowing it, Amitabh’s attempt to honor Julie
made her feel excluded.
For the rest of the day, Julie struggled to connect
with the group. Rather than being engaging, Julie
grew more and more self-conscious—and it showed.
She wasn’t thinking on her feet as she typically did,
and she struggled to adapt her approach to the
needs and interests of her Indian colleagues.
Julie’s story highlights a real challenge that
leaders increasingly face in today’s global
business landscape: how to create diverse teams
where coworkers of all genders, ethnicities/
races, and nationalities, feel included. Small acts,
even well-intended ones, can create dividing
lines and contribute to a sense of exclusion—
with consequences for individual and team
performance. To optimize the performance of
diverse teams and become more mindful of the
small moments that define whether employees
feel included or excluded, global leaders must
wrestle with some big questions.
For starters, how much do the very definitions
of inclusion vary from culture to culture? Are there
gender differences in what makes employees feel
included? What leadership behaviors can promote
inclusion? And how much do these behaviors need
to be adapted for different cultural contexts?
The Study at a Glance
To find the answers to these questions, Catalyst
surveyed a total of 1,512 employees, approximately
250 from each of six different countries—Australia,
China (Shanghai), Germany, India, Mexico, and
the United States.1
All participants were full-
time employees, 22 and older, and employed in
companies with more than 50 employees. These
women and men, both equally represented in the
sample,2
reported on their experiences of inclusion
within their workgroups and about the leadership
behaviors of their managers.3
Survey results revealed striking similarities across
most countries in how employees characterize
inclusion and the leadership behaviors that help to
foster it. Notably, we found a common definition
of inclusion that held equally for women and
men. What makes women feel included also
makes men feel included. We also found that to
be inclusive, leaders may not need a different
tool set for each country in which they operate.
Among most of the countries we studied, there
seems to be common language of inclusion.
5. The View From Six Countries | 2
Julie’s situation was temporary.
When the week’s training ended,
she left the workgroup, and her
struggles may not have had such a
great impact overall. But what about
those situations where employees
have ongoing workgroup experiences
where they continue to feel like
outsiders and struggle to connect
with coworkers—day in and day out?
If Julie’s performance was affected,
even given the temporary nature of
her situation, imagine how employees
are affected when they feel excluded
from their permanent workgroups on
an ongoing basis.
Some prior studies have shown that
beingexcludedcanimpairperformance
on cognitive tasks, reduce the ability to
problem-solve in the face of difficulty,
and may reduce creativity.4
Inclusion Linked to
Employee Reports
of Innovation and
Helpfulness
In the six countries we studied
(Australia, China, India, Germany,
Mexico, and the United States) we
found evidence that feeling included
does indeed have a real-world
impact.
We measured this impact by
using leading indicators of critical
outcomes that managers care about:
product innovation and productivity.
Specifically, Catalyst examined
whether employees who felt more
included were more likely to report

identifying opportunities for

and trying out new ideas and
approaches to problems. We
also investigated whether
inclusion was linked to team
citizenship, behaviors such as
offering help to colleagues
with heavy workloads,
picking up responsibilities
of absent colleagues, and
volunteering assistance to
one’s manager. Our analyses
revealed that inclusion was
linked both to employees’ self-
reported innovation and team
citizenship—behaviors that
can have a profound impact on
overall team productivity and
product innovation.5
• In all six countries, the more
included employees felt,
the more innovative they
reported being in their jobs.

What Difference Does Inclusion Make?
6. 3 | Inclusive Leadership
MAKING SENSE OF
THE NUMBERS
How much an employee helps fellow colleagues
or suggests new product ideas is determined by a
great many things. In addition to how included that
employee feels, workgroup size and personal values
likely affect these behaviors, too.
Our goal in this research is not to identify
all of these explanatory factors. Rather, it is to
understand inclusion better. Specifically, we want
to examine 1) how employees perform—whether
they innovate or engage in team citizenship—when
they experience inclusion; and 2) the leadership
behaviors that contribute to that experience.
When studying experiences and behaviors
such as inclusion and employee innovation it is
important to keep their complexity in mind. In
reality, it would be surprising to identify a single
factor that could perfectly predict—i.e., explain
100%—how much inclusion employees experience
or the extent to which they engage in innovation.13
Indeed, identifying a factor that can explain even
20% of any such complex phenomena as these is
noteworthy. By that measure, the findings we report
here offer significant insights about the precursors
and consequences of inclusion.
** InChinaandMexico,thelinkbetween
inclusion and employee innovation
was strongest. Chinese and Mexican
employees’ perceptions of inclusion
accounted for 78% and 51% of
innovation, respectively.9
• In all six countries, the more included
employees felt, the more they
reported engaging in team citizenship
behaviors—going above and beyond the
“call of duty” to help other team members
and meet workgroup objectives.
** In India, employee perceptions of
inclusion accounted for 43% of team
citizenship behavior.10
** In Australia, Germany and the United
States, employee perceptions of
inclusion accounted for 29% to 41%
of team citizenship.11

in Most Countries
Given the impact inclusion can have on individual
and team performance, it is important to understand
justwhatmakesemployeesfeelincluded.Ourfindings
suggest that in Australia, China, Germany, Mexico,
and the United States, employees felt included
when, simultaneously, they perceived they were
both similar to and distinct from their coworkers.
• Perceiving similarities with coworkers
engendered a feeling of belongingness
while perceiving differences led to
feelings of uniqueness; together, across
countries, these perceptions were
strong predictors of inclusion.14
** Employee feelings of uniqueness
and belongingness contributed
on average more than 20% to
employees’ perceptions of inclusion.
xx Across countries, uniqueness
accounted for 18% to 24% of
an employee’s perception of
inclusion.
xx Acrosscountries,belongingness
accounted for 27% to 35% of
an employee’s perception of
inclusion.

Universal Needs: Uniqueness
and Belongingness
Although somewhat counterintuitive, these
findings are not entirely surprising. In fact, previous
studies conducted largely in North America have
shown that people have two opposing needs in
group settings: the need to belong and the need
be unique.15
When people feel too similar to group
members, they try to set themselves apart, to feel
unique. When people feel too different from group
members, they feel as if they don’t belong and may
try to assimilate and become more similar. Many
experts believe these needs for uniqueness and
belongingness are in fact universal.16
Yet previously,
most of the relevant research had been done
largely in the United States. This study shows that
uniqueness and belongingness are important
considerations outside of North America, too.
In Most Countries, the
Inclusion Formula Was the
Same for Women and Men
When it comes to inclusion, we found that
the same inclusion formula, uniqueness plus
belongingness, held for both women and men.
• Women and men from Australia, China,
Germany, Mexico, and the United States
all differentiated between feelings of
uniqueness and belongingness within
their workgroups. And for both genders in
each of these countries, uniqueness and
belongingness—in combination—created
a sense of inclusion.

DEFINING INCLUSION
Practitioners and researchers define inclusion
in many different ways.17
Some definitions
focus on valuing differences. Others emphasize
finding common ground to promote cohesion.
Psychological theory as well as the data we present
here give credence to both these points of view.
Our findings suggest that leaders who wish
to create inclusive cultures need to value the
diversity of talents, experiences, and identities that
employees bring. At the same time, they need to
find common ground. Focusing too much on the
former could lead employees to feel alienated or
stereotyped. Focusing primarily on the latter can
leave employees reluctant to share views and ideas
that might set them apart, increasing the odds
of problems like groupthink. When employees
feel unique—recognized for their differences—
and feel a sense of belonging based on sharing
common attributes and goals with their peers,
organizations best increase the odds of benefiting
from workforce diversity. Our findings suggest that
a balanced strategy of meeting employees’ needs
for uniqueness and belongingness can be more
impactful in increasing employee innovation and
engagement than a strategy focusing on only one or
the other of these needs.18
Among Indian Women
and Men, Uniqueness and
Belongingness Were Not Distinct
Contributors to Employee
Perceptions of Inclusion
Unlike the pattern observed in other countries,
we found that among Indian women and men,
uniqueness and belongingness were not distinct
contributors to inclusion.
• Indian participants did not differentiate
uniqueness and belongingness as
distinct workgroup experiences. Those
who said they felt unique in their
workgroups were equally like to report
a sense of belongingness. They seemed
to view the concepts of uniqueness and
belongingness interchangeably.
If calling attention to a colleague’s unique traits is
one way to signal acceptance in an Indian context,
then it is easy to see how Amitabh, the manager
in our opening story—acted as he did. Perhaps,
by ordering Julie a European-style meal, he was
attempting to acknowledge Julie’s distinct cultural
heritage, and, in so doing, convey that she was a
valued member of the workgroup. Yet coming from
the United States, a context where being treated or
viewed as exceptional does not necessarily signal
belonging and group acceptance, Julie did not
interpret his actions in the way Amitabh intended.
Rather than feeling accepted, she felt excluded.
Quite likely, with a little more insight into each
other’s cultural frame of reference, Amitabh and
Julie might have had a better start to their working
relationship.
10. 7 | Inclusive Leadership
What exactly can leaders do to help employees feel
included? In Australia, China, Germany, Mexico, and
theUnitedStates,fourleadershipbehaviorspredicted
feelings of uniqueness and belongingness—the two
key ingredients for inclusion. These were:
• Empowerment—Enabling direct reports
to develop and excel.
• Humility—Admitting mistakes. Learning
from criticism and different points of view.
Acknowledging and seeking contributions
of others to overcome one’s limitations.
• Courage—Putting personal interests aside
to achieve what needs to be done. Acting
on convictions and principles even when it
requires personal risk-taking.
• Accountability—Demonstrating confidence
in direct reports by holding them responsible
for performance they can control.
Together, these behaviors are part of an altruistic
repertoire of leadership.19
Rather than being
motivated by concerns about self-promotion or
protecting her own interests and needs, the leader
believes her primary obligation is to support and
assist her direct reports. Among both women
and men employees from Australia, China,
Germany, Mexico, and the United States, those
who perceived more altruistic behavior from
managersreportedagreatersenseofuniqueness
and belongingness, and consequently, inclusion.
• In China, perceiving altruistic behavior
on the part of managers accounted
for 71% and 67% of employees’ sense
of uniqueness and belongingness,
respectively.

Altruistic Leadership’s Relationship to Employees’ Sense of
Uniqueness, Belongingness, and Inclusion
• IntheUnitedStates,Germany,andAustralia,
perceiving altruistic behavior on the part of
managers accounted for 38% to 46% of
employees’ sense of uniqueness and 27%
to 39% of their sense of belongingness.
Although still significant, the relationship
betweenaltruisticleadershipandemployee
feelings of uniqueness and belongingness
was smaller in these countries than we saw
in China.
• In Mexico, perceiving altruistic behavior on
the part of managers accounted for 32% of
employees’senseofuniquenessand24%of
their sense of belongingness. In this cultural
context, altruistic leadership is still clearly
important, but had a weaker relationship
with uniqueness and belongingness than
observed in all other contexts.
• For Indian women and men employees,
perceived altruistic behavior on the part
of managers accounted for as much as
42% of inclusion.
Empower Employees to
Foster Inclusion
• In all the countries studied, empowerment
was the behavior that most reflected
altruistic leadership—the leadership style
linked to inclusion.
• Humility, courage, and accountability
closely followed empowerment as key
indicators of altruistic leadership within all
six countries.
12. 9 | Inclusive Leadership
Think of the most successful leaders in your
organization. How highly does humility rank
among the attributes these leaders have in
common?
Humility was one of the most significant
indicators, after empowerment, of altruistic
leadership in this study. It is also quite possibly
one of the altruistic leadership attributes
that is most antithetical to common notions
of leadership.20
Research suggests that we
most readily associate leadership competence
with attributes like charisma, self-promotion,
speaking up first, and speaking longest.21
Yet
these characteristics may not actually be the
“stuff” that makes leaders effective in creating
inclusive environments. Rather, qualities like
“standing back,” humility, and self-sacrifice
can go a long way in making leaders more
inclusive and effective.
In the current study, we find evidence
that empowerment, humility, courage, and
accountability—key aspects of altruistic
leadership—are important to shaping
employee perceptions of inclusion. These
behaviors may be especially critical to instill
among employees leading global teams.
CONSIDER THIS: THINK LEADER, THINK HUMILITY
Key Questions to Consider:
• What can be done to encourage altruistic leadership?
• What practices/norms might inadvertently discourage
leaders from demonstrating this style of leadership?
• Are senior leaders in your organization role modeling
altruistic behaviors?
• What are the leadership stories that are told in your
organization? Do they emphasize humility, courage,
accountability, and empowerment?
13. The View From Six Countries | 10
A Cross-Cultural Model of How Leader Behavior
Impacts Employee Perceptions of Inclusion,
Innovation, and Team Citizenship
The present research begins to paint a picture of
just how much influence leaders can have on whether
employees feel included in their workgroups.
In most of the countries we studied, four key
behaviors—empowerment, humility, courage, and
accountability—stood out as most important. As
the model below depicts, managers who were
perceived to exhibit these altruistic behaviors have
direct reports who feel more included by virtue of
experiencing a greater sense of belongingness and
uniqueness within their respective workgroups.22
In turn, when these employees experience more
inclusion, they become more innovative at their
jobs—taking more risks, and suggesting new
processes and systems for getting work done.
Furthermore, they become better team citizens,
going beyond what is required to help team
members and achieve workgroup objectives.
In some cultural contexts, leader behaviors may
have a particularly strong effect on employee
innovation and team citizenship via inclusion. For
example, in China, there were relatively strong links
between altruistic leadership, inclusion, innovation,
and citizenship. These findings suggest that by
exhibiting empowerment, humility, courage, and
accountability,leadersinChinamayhaveaparticularly
powerful influence on employee innovation and
citizenship within workgroups—much more so than
in other cultures. Why does China stand out? A likely
explanation for the differences we observed is that
unlike countries such as Australia, Germany, and the
United States, which register higher on individualism
and egalitarianism, employee perceptions and
behaviors may be relatively more dependent on
their managers’ behaviors in more collectivistic,
hierarchical cultures like those that we see in China.

Altruistic Leadership’s Relationship to Employees’ Perceptions of Inclusion,

The Indian Model
A similar model was observed in India.23
Altruistic leadership predicted inclusion, which
in turn had a direct positive effect on employee
innovation and citizenship. Yet, in contrast
to most countries we studied, there was no
evidence that uniqueness and belongingness
were key causal factors affecting whether Indian
employees perceived they were included in
their workgroups. Although we found evidence
for the altruistic leadership-inclusion link, our
data did not offer clues as to what underlies this
relationship in India.
Why didn’t we crack the inclusion code in India?
One reason is that there may not be just one code
to decipher. India’s people speak thousands of
languages, subscribe to more than nine major
religions, and live in 91 different cultural regions.24
With this high level of cultural diversity, Indian
employees may not share a common definition of
inclusion. Is there really a pan-Indian view of what
inclusion looks like? Or do Indians vary significantly—
based on ethnicity and culture—in their definitions of
inclusion? In a forthcoming report on India, Catalyst
will explore these questions in greater depth.
15. The View From Six Countries | 12
Gender Matters in India but
Not So Much Elsewhere
Across Australia, China, Germany, Mexico, and
the United States, the same model linking altruistic
leadership to inclusion, employee innovation, and
citizenship held equally for women as for men.25
Further, the relationships between the different
parts of this model were similarly strong for both
genders. This was not the case in India.
The same links between altruistic leadership,
inclusion, and employee innovation were
found among Indian men and women. Yet the
magnitude of these relationships differed
by gender. Notably, in explaining employee
innovation and team citizenship, feeling included
mattered more among Indian men than women.
• Among Indian men, perceptions of
inclusion respectively accounted for 82%
and 61% of reported innovation and team
citizenship.26
• Among Indian women, perceptions of
inclusion respectively accounted for 46%
and 29% of reported innovation and team
citizenship.27
Global Organizations:
Promote Altruistic Leader
Behaviors Increase
Inclusion
In all six cultures Catalyst studied, altruistic leader
behaviors such as empowerment and humility were
an important part of the repertoire among inclusive
leaders. Further, Catalyst found that the practice of
altruistic leadership is an effective way of helping
women and men feel included. Our results suggest
that global organizations seeking to create more
inclusive work cultures should consider how
to develop and reinforce altruistic leadership
behaviors among their talent—especially among
emerging leaders.
This may be easier said than done. The most
popular notions of leadership treat the talents
and skills of leaders as the key drivers of their
effectiveness. There is little focus on so-called
“followers”28
nor acknowledgement of how
their experiences and behaviors impact leader
effectiveness and organizational outcomes.29
In upcoming reports, Catalyst will explore in-
depth, country-specific barriers and opportunities
multinational organizations face as they strive to
promote altruistic leadership and develop future
leaders with the business-critical skills they need
to build inclusive work relationships, teams, and
organizations.

14. Participant survey responses were submitted to MGSEM
where a measurement model for inclusion was examined.
First, measurement models for the latent variables for
uniqueness and belongingness were examined. Analyses
for uniqueness and belongingness both demonstrated
adequate fit [Uniqueness: X2
=(22, N=1238)=31.26, p.05,
RMSEA=.04, CFI= .99, SRMR=.095; Belongingness: X2
=(8,
N=1238)=9.85, p.05, RMSEA=.03, CFI= 1.00, SRMR=.05].
Inclusion was treated as a latent composite comprised of
the two latent indicators: uniqueness and belongingness.
Model statistics indicated adequate fit of the composite
model [X2
=(85, N=1238)=113.82, p.05, RMSEA=.04 CFI=
0.99, SRMR=.08]. MGSEM revealed both belongingness
and uniqueness as significant predictors of the composite
inclusion in all countries (all p’s.001). Analyses contained
all variables the full model described.
