Inclusive Talent Management
About This Week’s Guest
Stephan Frost
This is the first time that we have a guest who has been on the podcast before.
In this podcast, we continue our discussion on Inclusive Management. What it is and what you can do.
Stephen Frost is the Head of Diversity and Inclusion for KPMG UK. He served as Head of Diversity and Inclusion for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games from 2007-2012. He was educated as a Hertford College Scholar at Oxford University and a Fulbright Scholar at Harvard University. He also teaches inclusive leadership at Harvard Business School and an extended class at Sciences Po in Paris. He advises several organizations and governments worldwide and is the author of the book The Inclusion Imperative.
His tips to become more culturally competent are:
- Know and understand yourself. Think about your own “in-group”; your friends and family. To whom do you reach out and (possibly more importantly), to whom do you not reach out (because you don’t want to or it would make you feel uncomfortable)?
- Think about your leadership style. Are you expecting people to adapt to you, or are you willing to adapt to them? This attitude will have a great influence on your leadership style.
- Deliver: what have you done in the past? What have you done in the past to make this a better, more interesting place? Ideally, you let someone else share this while you take a back seat and listen to how they see what you’ve done.
