This time of year is always a favorite of mine-- I enjoy Black History Month, and International Women's Day... as much as 'enjoy' is really a reflection of growth and introspection. That said, I came across this article a few months ago and it really sat with me for a bit. As a B-School alum, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on my leadership style and how I interact within the context of a team. It's important to me-- as is community. I have a very high inclusion score... ;)
