Summary:Most recognise the existential threat of climate change - the literal burning platform - and their responsibility to mitigate it. Here are some pointers that have helped me: * Take individual responsibility to improve your culture through DEI and galvanise other leaders to step up - develop a plan to bring that to life and measure it. * Consider your own difference in relation to others. * Be curious, immerse yourself in issues and when you don't understand, ask - where necessary use real-life experiences or role play with actors to bring it to life. * Create an environment where you can receive challenges and suggestions openly or on a confidential basis - collaborate with networks, listen to focus groups, and capture and act on the exit interview data. * Call it out - know you will be judged by the worst behaviour you tolerate. The impact of successful leadership can drive positive change throughout an organisation for the benefit of everyone.
