OUR
MISSION
Driving commercial performance and lasting social impact by building equitable, innovative, and inclusive organisational cultures.
​​​
Unlocking Insight. Inspiring Action. Driving Commercial Growth.
​
Inclusion is a strategic advantage — and a cornerstone of the ‘Social’ in ESG.
It starts with leadership. The tone leaders set and the decisions they make directly shape whether people feel safe, valued, and empowered. Inclusive leadership not only drives performance and innovation but builds the trust, equity, and accountability essential to sustainable, people-focused and commercial growth.
It also reduces risk by preventing the issues that arise from bias, exclusion, or lack of accountability — protecting both reputation and employee wellbeing.
DIAL’s leadership framework analyses where organisations are on the journey and accelerates meaningful change at every level driving change in the workplace.

Inside the DIAL Global Movement
A passionate thought leader with multiple business and charitable interests, Leila McKenzie-Delis is helping to redefine inclusive leadership and move the dial on workplace culture, purpose, and performance.
In 2019, Leila founded DIAL Global a global community for Inclusive, Aspirational Leaders with a mission to foster a more open, equitable, and high-performing society. Through DIAL, she champions bold conversations that reshape how organisations think about culture, talent, leadership, and inclusion.
At the heart of DIAL Global’s work is a deep commitment to the Social pillar of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) supporting organisations to go beyond statements and embed inclusive values into their business strategies, leadership behaviours, and governance frameworks.
​
The DIAL community includes the DIAL Impact Council with CEO Steering Commitee at its heart, the Core Impact Council, Allies and Advisors and Youth, NextGen and Future Leaders.
​
With CEO Activists podcast and Youtube channel evolving to CEO Impact, featuring powerful conversations with today’s most inspirational and accomplished leaders, change-makers, and CEOs.
Now in its fifth year, Leila has also launched the DIAL Global Index (formerly The Dial Global Review/McKenzie-Delis Review) — the first and only cross-sector report that tracked how the UK and US’s largest employers addressed and measured. As the DGIi has evolved the DGI measures inclusivity now structured around the CITIES Framework—Culture, Inclusion, Talent, Impact, Equity, and Social. This refreshed survey is designed to serve as a benchmark for organisations seeking to embed inclusion through the lens of ESG, understand systemic maturity, and drive measurable impact.
​
DIAL Global’s research brings rigour, visibility, and accountability to the conversation — providing commercial growth, helping leaders lead better, and businesses deliver meaningful social impact at scale.
