Inclusive leadership is a transformative approach to leading teams in today’s diverse and dynamic workplace. To shed light on how the new FLIGBY Inclusive Leadership Assessment helps leaders develop these vital skills, we sat down with Elena Altinalmazi, People Solutions Designer at Humanis, to answer some of the most pressing questions.
Q: What exactly is the FLIGBY Inclusive Leadership Assessment?
Elena: The FLIGBY Inclusive Leadership Assessment is an innovative tool that evaluates and enhances a leader’s ability to create inclusive, high-performing environments. Through FLIGBY’s immersive AI-powered business simulation, leaders face realistic workplace scenarios where they must make decisions that showcase skills like emotional intelligence (EQ), communication, collaboration, and openness.
The assessment not only measures how inclusively a leader performs but also provides actionable feedback to help them grow. It’s perfect for those who want to foster psychological safety, elevate team trust, and boost performance.
Q: What makes this assessment unique?
Elena: Unlike traditional leadership tools, this assessment is embedded within the FLIGBY simulation, which gamifies the process. Leaders don’t just receive static questions or theoretical frameworks—they actively experience challenges and see the impact of their decisions on their team’s trust, well-being, and productivity in real-time.
After the simulation, leaders receive a detailed report focusing on five key areas:
- Inclusive Leadership score – A comprehensive evaluation of how inclusive their leadership approach is.
- Psychological Safety Index – Insights into how safe their team feels under their leadership.
- Skill-specific analysis – A breakdown of strengths and growth areas in inclusive leadership skills.
- Daily inclusion tips – Practical suggestions to enhance inclusivity in everyday leadership.
- Theoretical frameworks & benefits – Tools and knowledge for continuous improvement.
Q: Why is psychological safety such a big focus?
Elena: Psychological safety is the foundation of an inclusive workplace. When employees feel safe to express their ideas, ask questions, or even fail, they are more engaged, innovative, and productive. The FLIGBY simulation allows leaders to see how their behaviors directly influence their team’s sense of safety, which is a game-changer for cultivating trust.

Q: Can you walk us through how it works?
Elena: Sure! When you play FLIGBY, you take on the role of a manager at a fictional vineyard. As scenarios unfold, you’re faced with complex situations that challenge your leadership style. For example:
- How do you handle disagreements within your team?
- How do you balance individual needs with organizational goals?
- How do you create an environment where every voice is heard?
The choices you make in the game are analyzed to assess your inclusive leadership skillset. Once the simulation ends, you receive a tailored report that guides you on how to improve.
Q: Who is this for, and how can organizations benefit?
Elena: This powerful tool is designed for leaders at all levels who are committed to driving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in their teams. It’s especially valuable for organizations looking to align their leadership practices with DEI goals.
By using this tool, companies gain:
- Leaders who are better equipped to navigate diverse team dynamics.
- Actionable insights to support individual and team development.
- A way to measure and track the effectiveness of DEI initiatives.
Plus, the tool is suitable for various industries and can be used across different teams and fields.

Q: How does this tie into broader organizational goals?
Elena: Inclusion drives innovation and performance. Teams led by inclusive leaders are more collaborative, engaged, and resilient.
