Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to assess the link between diversity and inclusive leadership from the entrepreneurial perspective. If the entrepreneur is the efficient decision maker, there is an expectation that the benefits of diversity are harnessed through an inclusive leadership mindset. Yet the literature on the diversity-inclusive leadership relation is limited, scattered across a broad field, and largely omits the entrepreneurial dimension. This chapter makes an attempt to consolidate the existing literature by conducting a systematic literature review and proposes the extension of the diversity-inclusive leadership construct by adding the entrepreneurial perspective. The inclusive entrepreneur recognizes diversity as an opportunity and adopts attitudes that promote an inclusive organizational culture that is dynamic and sustainable.
