Your Role in Creating Cultures of Belonging Where Everyone Can Thrive
Berrett-Koehler, 2019
Aperçu
Equality is an admirable concept. But equity is what counts: establishing a level playing field for all.
Recommendation
A Fortune 500 firm suffered a PR debacle when a victim of anti-gay comments filed a harassment suit against it. The CEO hired Jennifer Brown, a diversity and inclusion consultant and LGBTQ+ advocate, to talk to 25 top executives – all white males – about equity. Some executives belittled and dismissed her information; others kept checking their watches. That happens when you challenge the establishment on equity; progress requires knowing what to do and how to do it. Brown offers a step-by-step guide to help your firm do a good job of handling inclusivity and diversity issues.
