Building Freedom-Oriented Leadership

Addressing the complex challenges facing our organisations and societies requires freeing up the innovation potential of increasingly diverse workforces (Duchek, et al., 2020; Hundschell, et al., 2022). Untapping this potential is a critical role for leaders who can transform organisational effectiveness through building trust and capitalising on human capabilities while drawing on more freedom-oriented structural forms and ways of working (Getz & Arnaud, 2024; Nobles, 2019). The teaching case study and it's accompanying teaching notes has been developed to provide insights into how to develop freedom-oriented leadership to help create such workplaces.

Diversity and Inclusion in Workplaces

The benefits of diverse and inclusive workplaces are well documented. Capability maturity models are useful tools to help identify current and desired levels of maturity and plan for continuous improvement. ECU's Diversity & Inclusion Capability Maturity Model (ECU D&I CMM) provides a practical, evidence-based approach to ensuring D&I are embedded throughout the organisation.

The ECU D&I CMM is available to download here, along with some support resources to assist organisations to utilise the CMM to advance their D&I maturity. The CSGR team request any users to cite the tool as per the citation details provided in these resources and we welcome your feedback about how you've found using the package.
