Creating an environment where people can show up authentically at work isn’t just about good intentions—it’s about building an inclusive culture that welcomes their uniqueness. If we want our teams to thrive, we need to design workplaces that support them, not force them into a one-size-fits-all mold.

In this episode, I explore how to build an inclusive culture by:

• Recognizing and leveraging peoples’ individual strengths so they can maximize the impact of their effort
• Designing for diverse thinking and working styles instead of defaulting to just one way of working
• Understanding what makes your people tick and managing based on what actually motivates each person

This is part one of a two-part conversation. In part two, I’ll dive into psychological safety and how we can create the kind of trust that allows our teams to take risks, innovate, and grow.
