Abstract: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in management education is a critical subject that has increasingly become important in preparing future leaders for a diverse world. The research problem is the lack of knowledge on how management education programmes develop inclusive leadership skills by identifying and building necessary capabilities. This study aimed at identifying DEI competencies, evaluating existing approaches to teaching and learning and analyzing the factors that hinder or facilitate the development of inclusive leadership skills. By conducting a conceptual literature review, it examined academic journals and authoritative sources while focusing on DEI in management education. Historical development towards more inclusive practices, identification of core competencies required for an inclusive leadership model, and efficacy of different teaching methods are the major points. It therefore calls for incorporation of DEI principles into management education; providing innovative ways to overcome these barriers. The study thus has serious implications for management education as it provides an influential framework for improving educators’ preparation of future leaders who can navigate through diverse and inclusive workforces.
