This book will help you successfully create a fair and equitable workplace that recognizes diverse talent and fosters productive and constructive conversations in your organization.

  • The costs and risks you're incurring if your organization lacks diversity
  • How people who don't consider themselves to be racist may still have diversity blind spots
  • How to start the hard conversations you may not know how to approach
  • The STARTING Method―an eight-step framework that shows you how to ensure your diversity and inclusion efforts are effective
  • How to recognize the excuses people use to avoid taking action on diversity and inclusion
  • How to address the issues and comments that come up when employees feel nervous, resentful, or uncomfortable as you make headway on diversity in your organization
