Bridging the Gap: Your Guide to Equity-Based Leadership

Leaders that know their leadership style are successful because they are able to form high functioning relationships. The strength of these relationships is perceived and experienced differently by everyone which can lead to inequitable environments. In this course, senior director of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and leadership professional Dr. Frank Gonzalez shares his experiences and research on workplace disparities, allowing you to bridge the gap with your employees while creating practical opportunities for others. Frank starts by defining how leader-follower and team relationships form out-groups. He then outlines the relationships, experiences, contributions, and public encouragement required to create equitable environments. Finally, Frank defines equitable leadership and practical ways to incorporate these practices into leadership styles that work best for you. After this course, you will have a list of questions and tips that will help reinforce these lessons into your team and organization.
