Inclusive leadership or diversity management?

Following up on the successful Workshop on Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion held at CBS in 2014, the CBS Public-Private Platform and its cluster on Diversity & Difference hosted a 2nd workshop on the same theme in May 2016.

Yvonne Benschop, Professor of Organizational Behaviour at Institute for Management Research at Radboud University Nijmegen, and Dr Scott Taylor from the University of Birmingham were the keynote speakers at the conference.

Around 60 scholars from a wide range of countries participated with paper-presentations.

The contributions of the two keynote speakers focused on different perspectives on the question of leadership and inclusion.

Professor Yvonne Benschop took point of departure from her work with the police force, whereas, Scott Taylor focused on inclusion and exclusion in organizations more generally, as well as talking about his work on feminism and the British labour market.

The next event in the Diversity and Difference will take place in November 2016.
