Executive Leadership Program in Managing for Inclusion (EXEC D&I-23E)


  • Flatter Inc 10707 Spotsylvania Ave Fredericksburg, VA, 22408 (map)

The Executive-Diversity and Inclusion (Exec-D&I) training program provides a systems approach to understand the field of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and its relevance to our National Defense Strategy and DAF Operational Readiness. The course teaches effective strategies for leaders to create and maintain an inclusive culture that capitalizes on the backgrounds and perspectives of all personnel, while creating an inclusive environment where leaders value and encourage all personnel to provide ideas necessary to drive innovation and mission success. Participants learn how establishing permanency by inculcating diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility is foundational to the DAF culture to successfully attract, recruit, develop, and retain the best people regardless of any demographic, static or dynamic identifiers. The course prepares DAF senior leaders for the potential challenges they will face as strategic leaders, supervisors, and team-builders to foster a diverse and inclusive organization. Amongst a wide variety of topics, the course addresses the theoretical foundations of diversity and inclusion and how to foster inclusion by growing cultural competence, increasing bias literacy in decision making, and infusing DEIA into talent management.
