Be patient and persistent: Change takes time, and it may take some time to embrace inclusive leadership practices fully. Be patient and persistent in your efforts, and don't be discouraged by setbacks.
Work to increase diversity: If your team or organisation lacks diversity, consider ways to recruit and hire a more diverse workforce actively. This can help to create a more inclusive culture and ensure that all voices are heard and valued.
