Recommendation

In a comprehensive and candid text, one of the DEI field’s most respected and popular strategists, Lily Zheng, unpacks the booming multibillion-dollar industry. The author claims DEI initiatives largely deliver feel-good talking points but few measurable solutions. Zheng meticulously “deconstructs” the meaning of DEI, then redefines it broadly to increase multistakeholder buy-in and reduce backlash. They consider data, measurement and hard outcomes the only real proof of impact. This foundational tome delves deeply into strategies that can help turn good intentions into tangible results.

Take-Aways

  • The DEI industry has largely failed to deliver.
  • Measurable progress matters more than good intentions.
  • Invite widespread buy-in to your DEI initiatives to mitigate backlash.
