Discussion Assignment

Answer the questions below (I recommend that you type directly into this document, then COPY and PASTE into discussion board, do NOT upload this document to discussion board).

Respond to at least 2 other students. Responses should be well thought and move the dialogue forward.

1. Define intersectionality. Can you think of leaders with multiple social identities (gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, etc.) who have risen to top positions because of their intersectionality?
2. Several metaphors are used in the text to describe women's experience in leadership: glass ceiling, labyrinth, glass escalator, glass cliff, and jungle gym. Which of these is most fitting in your view? What other metaphors can you propose that describe women's organizational leadership experience?
3. How does the definition of leadership change by containing the principle of inclusivity?
4. How can leaders seek to incorporate more divergent discussions and viewpoints in the workplace? Offer examples.
5. Recently your company has begun to promote its diversity efforts, including same-sex (and heterosexual) partner benefits and a non-harassment policy that includes sexual orientation, among other things. Your department now has new posters on the walls with photos of employees who represent different aspects of diversity (e.g., Black, Hispanic, gay). One of your employees is upset about the diversity initiative and has begun posting religious scriptures condemning homosexuality on his cubicle in large type for everyone to see. When asked to remove them, your employee tells you that the posters promoting diversity offend Christian and Muslim employees. What should you do?
6. What are some benefits that diverse opinions bring to the organization and to leaders?
7. List three organizational goals you would implement to creat an organizational culture of diversity and inclusion.
8. COMPANIES THAT INFLUENCE FOR GOOD: Proctor and Gamble is a corporation that leads the way globally on how it treats its employees and has long provided resources for employees and their families that many companies are now getting to decades later. Check outP&G's We Choose Equal campaign. For this assignment, find an article or video from a reputable source spotlighting a company or group that is making strides toward inclusibity in the workplace or community. This group does not need to be making a global change for even small community changes are critically important.
   1. What company or group are you choosing to spotlight and why?
   2. What is the most important thing you learned from your chosen leader?
   3. How can you emulate this leader to be a more inclusive leader and make positive, effective change in your organization or community?

Use APA citatios with reference listing format guidelines at the end of your paper. Please do not use any AI tools, it is illegal.
