IMI-Delhi has launched the Centre for Leadership and Diversity (CLD) to examine and research, issues in today’s global workplace where a large and diverse employee base exists. This is probably a one of a kind Centre which focuses exclusively on diversity in leadership and gender. It aims to contribute in the domains of cutting edge research to break the myths and challenge notions of contemporary leadership. At CLD, we aim to address, highlight and research on issues faced by the large and increasingly diverse population at the workplace. We also plan to offer training customized to issues of diversity and inclusion.

• A platform and forum for brainstorming on LEADERSHIP & DIVERSITY related issues.
• To profile and understand the contemporary IndianLeader at the workplace by conducting research.
• Develop and deliver training across gender, culture andphysical ability differentials.
• Examine issues of what organizations need to do toharness talent beyond gender; cultural and physicalability differences.
• Develop a network of thought leaders who can jointlyaddress the issues and challenges for inclusion in anincreasingly global facing Indian economy.

As a part of the Centre’s initial initiatives we have undertaken a nationwide study to profile men and women in leadership positions to study myths around Gender.

We also are organizing a Round table Discussion on Sexual Harassment at the Workplace in May at Mumbai & Bangalore.
