The Diversity Leadership Guides topics/messages will be developed in the context of building productive work teams helping leaders/managers focus on making inclusion part of the Center culture and identifying systemic barriers to inclusion.

Leadership Guides will be generated bi-monthly to:

1. Promote dialogue surrounding diversity issues
2. Foster an environment of inclusion
3. To enhance vertical and horizontal communication to support mission activities and outcomes
4. Provide a foundation for planning retreats (or advances), All-Hands, off-site meetings, etc.
5. Supply data to be used in Center level reporting including Office of Equal Opportunity Programs MD715 Reporting requirement
6. Promote Center-wide dialogues through Brown-Bag discussions (held bi-monthly, open to all)

Leaders should provide the guide to direct reports for review and schedule time during regularly scheduled staff meetings to have a dialogue about the message.

Each guide will provide suggested questions/activities to stimulate dialogue.

This would be a good opportunity to allow staff members to lead the dialogue.

The requirement is to give every employee an opportunity to engage in the dialogue.

Summary forms are provided online to be completed by the session facilitator.

Completed forms, due the last Friday of the bi-monthly timeframe, should be returned to the Diversity Management Office via email at diversity@grc.nasa.gov or mailed to MS 3-3.

Reports will be provided to each organization and the Center Director.
