Al Vivian to Present 04/30/2012

Linkage’s 13th Annual Institute on Leading Diversity & Inclusion in Atlanta, GA, April 30-May 2, 2012, is the nation's premier event on best practices in diversity and inclusion. At The Institute you will gain the practical solutions you need to build inclusive work environments and move your organization's diversity initiatives forward to achieve bottom-line results. Learn best practices while networking with 1,000 diversity practitioners and line leaders.  



"Inclusive Leadership"

Organizations are defined by their leaders. They determine the culture, values, and personality of the organization; and thus, shape the direction of the entire enterprise. Great leaders elicit trust and confidence to motivate everyone to pursue individual and organizational goals with drive, passion and energy. Inclusive leaders accomplish this with integrity and trust that connects across cultural differences.

As organizations become more diverse and global in scope, so too must the competencies of their leaders. To survive, organizations must develop inclusive leaders equipped to motivate, inspire, and lead the most diverse workforce in the history of the world.


In this session you will build leadership skills necessary to:

· Serve as a catalyst for change

· Negotiate and influence effectively at all levels within the organization

· Make connections between D&I ideas and application

· Recognize D&I drivers related to innovation, marketplace expansion and overall business objectives 

· Understand and leverage your position, strategic relationships and privilege to create inclusive environments that support organizational goals



Al has also served on the advisory board for the Institute for six years.  This year's Summit will feature life-changing keynote speakers including, Geoff Canada, Lisa Ling, Polly LaBarre, and Steve Pemberton. For more information or to register call 781.402.5555 or visit www.linkageinc.com/div.
