Contemporary organizations have been calling for inclusive leadership to promote workplace inclusion. However, the existing literature on inclusive leadership has not yet adequately addressed questions such as what inclusive leadership encompasses, how it influences marginalized groups, and the mechanisms through which it impacts individual and organizational outcomes. This symposium brings together four papers that collectively add novel insights into these questions, from a multilevel and multi-identity-group perspective. The four papers offer four different approaches of capturing inclusive leadership, at the individual, group, and organizational levels. They also delve into the impact of inclusive leadership on group members and particularly on marginalized groups such as women and people with disabilities. They further ask questions related to conduits of inclusive leadership at individual and organizational levels, examining new mechanisms such as disability identity threat and organizational climate of gender stereotypes. This symposium challenges the participants to re-think how inclusive leadership can be understood in novel ways, how diversity can be better integrated into this research, and how inclusive leadership impacts individuals’ perceptions, decisions, effectiveness, and organizational climate and knowledge use. Insights into these questions can broaden perspectives for future research and provide practical guidance on how to develop inclusive managers and organizations.
