“…Stakeholders are an intrinsic part of the dynamics that generate organizational identity, culture, and image. At the macrolevel, the role of organizations in society can be discussed in relation to their impact on politics, society, and the economy (Ihlen and Verhoeven, 2017).…”

PurposeThe aim of this study is to examine leadership development programs in the context of diversity and inclusion and from the perspective of their owners.Design/methodology/approachThe core of the qualitative study was the 26 in-depth interviews that were conducted. The participants were selected purposefully. The data analysis was based on reflexive thematic analysis.FindingsThe analysis resulted in three themes. (1) “Policy” encompasses thoughts and an understanding of common diversity activities at the organizational level. Anti-discrimination, diversity, inclusion, tolerance, equality, cognition, acceptance and equal opportunity were factors in this narrative. (2) “Inclusion in the role” deals with the perception of diversity in terms of program recruitment. In this context, inclusion is defined by socially acceptable criteria of non-exclusion. (3) “Leadership development” represents the justification for addressing diversity and diversity activities. The findings suggest that the perception of an organization as homogeneous provides an argument for not addressing the diversity connoted with problems and inequities.Research limitations/implicationsQualitative research does not aim to generalize but to identify conceptual threads. Only the perspective of LDPs' managers was adopted. The selection of the purposive sample was guided by the criterion of active management of LDPs, to obtain as much information as possible about nurturing leaders.Originality/valueThe research findings expand knowledge on the perception of the role of diversity and indicate the benefits of diversity discussed in leadership training interventions. The study may become a starting point for capitalizing on leadership development in sustainable development.

This investigation aims to reflect on the impact generated by organizational communication in society, considering its capacity to interfere in the public sphere construction. For this, theoretical research was made addressing the communicative constitution of organizations and their relationship with society. Furthermore, in-depth interviews were conducted with Portuguese communication agencies for verifying perceptions about the communication impact in society. In the results, it was identified that to evidence this impact, it is necessary to discuss the communication organizational power in the interactional context and the discourse influence in individuals' perceptions and behaviors formation. This work was supported by Capes [grant numbers: 88881.362250/2019-01 from Program PDSE] and developed at University of Minho (Braga, Portugal).
