| Leaders have complete responsibility for setting the tone and insisting on an inclusive and welcoming environment in their organization. Recognizing the intersection of conflict management, the broad definition of diversity, social justice, what individuals need to succeed, and how to build a healthy organization should be at the forefront of the mission and vision of every team. Being self-aware of individual privilege, implicit bias, equity, equality, organizational climate, and the power of silence will be discussed related to inclusive leadership and the principles of cultural competency in veterinary medicine. |
