    Inclusive Disability Leadership: Strategies to Support Employees with Disabilities

    As senior leaders, it's critical that we proactively address disability inclusion in our organizations. People with disabilities make up over 25% of the population - and that number is even higher among younger demographics. By creating more accessible, disability-friendly workplaces, we can unlock a wealth of talent and perspectives that will give our companies a competitive edge. However, building true inclusive disability leadership goes beyond just checking boxes for legal compliance or basic accommodations. To truly empower employees with disabilities, we need a holistic shift in mindset and culture - led from the top down. In a powerful interview, disability inclusion expert Stephanie Cawthon shared key insights and actionable strategies that senior leaders can implement. Dr. Stephanie Cawthon Inclusive Disability Expert Dr. Stephanie Cawton is an internationally renowned scholar whose work centers on a powerful premise: when we embrace accessibility, we create environments where disabled people can truly thrive. As a tenured Professor of Educational Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Cawton has secured over $50 million in federal and other research grants for her groundbreaking work. In 2023, she founded the National Disability Center for Student Success at UT Austin, further advancing her mission to transform educational opportunities for disabled students. Her expertise is deeply informed by personal experience. Born with hearing loss and living with several mental health and physical disabilities that significantly impact her daily life, which brings both professional insight and lived understanding to her roles as researcher, author, and consultant. Here Are The Top Takeaways on Inclusive Disability Workplaces: 1. Accessibility is a Shared Responsibility Accessibility isn't just about individual accommodations - it's about designing environments, communications, and processes that work for everyone. This includes providing materials in advance, using technology like captioning and alt text, and being mindful of ableist language.  Accessibility is not a to-do list. It's a to-be list. Who are you? Who do you want to be? How do you interact with your people? How do you interact in the community with others? How do you demonstrate that disabilities are okay, that they're valued, and that that it's just a part of the human experience." The responsibility falls on all of us - not just the employee with a disability. As leaders, we must model inclusive behaviors and create a culture where accessibility is simply the norm.   2. Shift Mindsets, Not Just Checklists Many organizations treat disability inclusion as a box to check, rather than a foundational part of their culture. But true inclusive disability leadership requires a mindset shift - moving away from ableist assumptions and toward an appreciation of the unique talents and perspectives that people with disabilities bring. "Often, if you feel that vibe that someone's going to look down on you or patronize you, you're not going to disclose. And thus, you Yack that connection with the people in that space because you don't feel like you can disclose." As leaders, we must be transparent about valuing disability, provide structured learning opportunities, and lead by example through our language and behaviors. It's not enough to simply have the right policies in place - we must foster a culture where disability is seen as a normal part of the human experience. a href="https://stephaniecawthon.

Self-awareness and Emotional Intelligence Self-awareness is key to understanding one’s strengths and growth areas, directly impacting leadership confidence.

This two-way communication also helps build stronger relationships and mutual trust.   Building Authentic Leadership Trust While confidence is critical, building authentic leadership trust sustains long-term success. Trust makes teams follow your lead, invest in your vision, and commit to achieving collective goals. But trust cannot be forced; it must be earned. * Consistency in Actions and Words To build trust, leaders must align their actions with their words. Consistency in decision-making, behavior, and communication ensures that team members know what to expect from you. This creates a sense of reliability,

    Self-Leadership Strategies for Impact and Influence

    Today, let's talk about self-leadership strategies. Do you or someone you know have these leadership issues? * How often do you make decisions based on incomplete or biased information? * Have you ever considered that your words and actions might be causing misunderstandings, confusion, or even conflict within your team? * Are you perceived as out of touch or insensitive to people's needs and concerns? * Not sure what leadership soft skill areas you need to improve? (find out below) If so, meet Richard. He graduated from an Ivy League school with many awards and patents. Richard was known for his brilliance, innovation, and ability to accomplish things, so he was on a fast track to promotion. However, Richard was about to face a challenge he had never seen coming. The Challenge Richard's boss informed him that his team was unhappy with him, perceiving him as cold and insensitive to their needs and concerns. The team was not functioning well, with a lot of conflict, and Richard was identified as part of the problem. At first, Richard was angry, believing the team had the problem, not him. He didn't understand how his behavior contributed to the team's tensions until he saw the results of a 360-degree feedback report completed by his team, peers, and boss. The report revealed that his words and actions were causing misunderstandings, confusion, and conflict. Additionally, they felt he was out of touch with or insensitive to their needs and concerns. Richard's Realization and Transformation Richard's story is not unique; many executive leaders face similar issues. Do you, or someone you know, face these challenges? This is a promotion killer! According to a 2023 report by McKinsey and Company, which surveyed 2,500 leaders, only 25% are engaged, passionate, and inspiring. People desire leaders who build respect and consider the ethical consequences of their decisions. They want leaders who inspire and develop others. Harvard Business Review found that while 95% of people believe they are self-aware, tests showed only 10% are truly self-aware. Consequences of Low Self-Awareness A leader with low self-awareness can face numerous challenges that significantly impact their effectiveness and the organization's overall health: 1. Ineffective Communication: Leaders may not realize how their actions affect others, leading to misunderstandings, confusion, and conflict within the team. 2. Limited Personal and Professional Growth: This prevents leaders from recognizing areas where they need to improve. 3. Poor Conflict Resolution: Without understanding their role in conflicts or how their behavior contributes to tensions, leaders struggle to manage and resolve issues, leading to a toxic work environment. 4. Diminished Credibility and Trust: Employees and stakeholders are less likely to trust and respect leaders who lack self-awareness, viewing them as inconsistent, hypocritical, or disconnected, which erodes credibility and authority. Self-Leadership Strategies for Building Self-Awareness How Do You Score? Find Out Below Self-awareness means understanding how we affect those around us, developing a transparent view of our strengths and shortcomings, and recognizing and controlling our emotional responses. Here are some Self-Leadership Strategies to help build self-awareness: 1. Seeking Feedback: Actively schedule meetings to seek feedback from peers, subordinates, and mentors. Ask them to rate you in different areas.
