What happens to inclusion when pressure mounts and “hats” change?

These 16.5 minutes might just change your life! We really need to replace the noun, inclusion, with the verb, include.

As you watch the video, relate what happens during the teleconference to your organization.

  • Pressure from the top to perform
  • A change from adequate or abundant resources to cost containment and stretched resources
  • Competing interests of multiple stakeholders
  • Decisions taken from a “management” perspective
  • Not being truly heard
  • Avoidable problems

About Bill Youngdahl

For the past six years, I have been the academic director for an executive eduction program titled Leading Global Projects that a colleague, Robert Moran, and I deliver to a major pharmaceutical company. I spend a great deal of time in airplanes and hotels but love the work. I have been at the Thunderbird School of Global Management since 1997 after working at Arizona State University for five years. I had "real" jobs in industry at Xerox and Hughes Aircraft, in engineering and project management, prior to becoming an academic. The transition to academia involved several years at the University of Southern California where I received a PhD in Business Administration and developed a passion for teaching. I'm also a certified Project Management Professional. My time at Thunderbird has been an amazing journey with MBA and EMBA students as well as corporate learning program particpants from Novartis, ExxonMobil, American Express, General Motors, Delphi, McDonald's, Discount Tire, and many other organizations. Working with organizations to customize learning experiences and interventions is my professional passion. Prosperity-depleting bureaucracy is my nemesis.
