This paper provides a definition of social inclusion that takes the concept beyond the current jargon and identifies social inclusion as not simply the promotion of the increased presence of marginalised persons in society, but rather that such people return to or begin to occupy valued social roles within society and community life. If such socially-valued roles are to become occupied by persons hitherto denied them, this will require a clear understanding to be reached not only of the nature of the leadership required, but also of the leadership challenges to be undertaken. Ten key examples of the kinds of leadership challenges that may have to be taken up if progress on social exclusion is to be catalysed and precipitated are defined and discussed.
