00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:02,640
Welcome back.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,677
Leading a project team comes with the
responsibility to create a psychologically

3
00:00:06,677 --> 00:00:09,670
safe environment for
the people around you.

4
00:00:09,670 --> 00:00:13,649
Through ethical and inclusive leadership,
you can create a team culture that

5
00:00:13,649 --> 00:00:17,580
works for everyone and motivates the
people around you to do their best work.

6
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:21,596
In this video, you'll learn
the definitions of ethical and

7
00:00:21,596 --> 00:00:23,400
inclusive leadership.

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,023
You'll also learn about the importance of
fostering a culture of respect, creating

9
00:00:28,023 --> 00:00:32,850
equal opportunity to succeed, and ways to
invite and integrate diverse perspectives.

10
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:38,033
So what do ethical and
inclusive leadership entail in a team and

11
00:00:38,033 --> 00:00:39,066
organization?

12
00:00:39,066 --> 00:00:41,730
Let's start with ethical leadership.

13
00:00:41,730 --> 00:00:46,584
Ethical leadership is a form of leadership
that promotes and values honesty,

14
00:00:46,584 --> 00:00:50,600
justice, respect, community and integrity.

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,822
You promote ethical leadership by defining
and aligning values within your team and

16
00:00:54,822 --> 00:00:59,229
demonstrating how adhering to those values
benefits the mission of the organization.

17
00:01:00,330 --> 00:01:05,580
For an example of this, consider how work
culture has evolved in recent years.

18
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:09,908
Around the world, employees working for
organizations of all kinds have

19
00:01:09,908 --> 00:01:13,887
been calling on their employers to
adopt ethical policy changes and

20
00:01:13,887 --> 00:01:16,569
to state their positions
on current events.

21
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:21,559
Companies can demonstrate ethical
leadership by creating forums where

22
00:01:21,559 --> 00:01:24,399
employees can raise their viewpoints,
be heard and

23
00:01:24,399 --> 00:01:28,860
receive follow-ups from company
leaders on employee concerns.

24
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:32,452
Ethical leadership is closely
tied to inclusive leadership.

25
00:01:32,452 --> 00:01:37,361
If ethical leadership's aim is to create
forums where employees' concerns can be

26
00:01:37,361 --> 00:01:42,270
heard, inclusive leadership aims to put
what we've heard into action to create

27
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:44,383
an environment that encourages.

28
00:01:44,383 --> 00:01:48,500
And empowers each and
every member of our community.

29
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:52,595
That in turn leads to more innovation and
better solutions.

30
00:01:52,595 --> 00:01:55,945
Here's how we think about
inclusion here at Google.

31
00:01:55,945 --> 00:02:00,445
Inclusive leadership is when everyone's
unique identity, background and

32
00:02:00,445 --> 00:02:06,075
experiences are respected, valued and
integrated into how the team operates.

33
00:02:06,075 --> 00:02:09,383
These differences improve
the team culture, collaboration,

34
00:02:09,383 --> 00:02:11,645
innovation and output.

35
00:02:11,645 --> 00:02:16,450
Inclusive leadership is related to
diversity in that diversity is the set of

36
00:02:16,450 --> 00:02:19,799
differences each of us possesses,
whether visible or

37
00:02:19,799 --> 00:02:25,320
invisible that gives us each a unique
perspective on the world and our work.

38
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,630
Inclusion is what the team does with that
diversity of thought and perspective.

39
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:36,030
At Google, we've identified three ways
that managers can lead inclusively.

40
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:39,646
These include fostering a culture
of respect, creating equal

41
00:02:39,646 --> 00:02:44,160
opportunity to succeed and inviting and
integrating diverse perspectives.

42
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,394
To foster a culture of respect,
it's your job as a project manager to

43
00:02:48,394 --> 00:02:53,860
serve as a role model, set the tone for
the team and take action when needed.

44
00:02:53,860 --> 00:02:56,979
That means modeling the values
of your organization,

45
00:02:56,979 --> 00:02:59,906
taking appropriate action
if misconduct occurs.

46
00:02:59,906 --> 00:03:04,258
Creating an environment in which team
members feel comfortable speaking up

47
00:03:04,258 --> 00:03:08,067
with concerns, and
recognizing team contributions regularly.

48
00:03:08,067 --> 00:03:12,787
To create equal opportunity to succeed,
you should ensure that each person on

49
00:03:12,787 --> 00:03:18,720
the team has access to the information and
resources they need to do their best work.

50
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,823
You do this through regular communication,
accessible documentation, and

51
00:03:22,823 --> 00:03:26,677
regular check-ins with the team to listen,
share information, ask and

52
00:03:26,677 --> 00:03:29,630
answer questions and provide support.

53
00:03:29,630 --> 00:03:30,818
As a project manager,

54
00:03:30,818 --> 00:03:34,509
you're in the perfect spot to identify
work that might be a good fit for

55
00:03:34,509 --> 00:03:38,720
a person who really wants it, but
who shies away from asking for it.

56
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,070
Knowing an individual's aspirations will
help you highlight these opportunities.

57
00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:46,488
Finally, to invite and
integrate diverse perspectives,

58
00:03:46,488 --> 00:03:51,272
it's your role to cultivate a culture in
which each team member's perspective can

59
00:03:51,272 --> 00:03:56,040
be openly shared, heard and
integrated into work related decisions.

60
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,579
You do this by creating a sense of
psychological safety on the team and

61
00:03:59,579 --> 00:04:03,178
by inviting teammates to share
their thoughts, ideas and concerns,

62
00:04:03,178 --> 00:04:05,510
regardless of their role or
rank on the team.

63
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:08,946
Developing ethical and

64
00:04:08,946 --> 00:04:12,670
inclusive leadership skills
requires regular practice.

65
00:04:12,670 --> 00:04:16,113
So whether you're leading
a project team of two, or 20, or

66
00:04:16,113 --> 00:04:20,556
200, you should be diligent in building
up your inclusive leadership skill

67
00:04:20,556 --> 00:04:25,090
set by creating an environment in which
your team feels safe, heard and valued.

68
00:04:26,490 --> 00:04:30,963
You can do this by fostering a culture of
respect, creating equal opportunity to

69
00:04:30,963 --> 00:04:34,470
succeed and inviting and
integrating diverse perspectives.

70
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:39,941
In the next lesson, we'll discuss the
fundamentals of influencing, as well as

71
00:04:39,941 --> 00:04:44,510
some common mistakes that people make
when attempting to influence others.

72
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:45,420
