This compelling and inspiring call to action for leaders at every
level helps them find their role and voice in affecting societal and
workplace change.
The need for inclusive leadership has never been more urgent. In the
United States, the wealth gap is the greatest it has ever been, with
women, people of color, and other marginalized communities being the
most impacted by economic and societal inequities. In the workplace,
representation is still sorely lacking across every industry. Pay
disparities, low wages, and lack of benefits continue to characterize
many jobs in the nation's labor force. These realities have an impact on
generations, communities, and our society overall. To build a more
equitable future, leaders must grasp the urgency of their role and
responsibility in the change effort.
In this updated and greatly expanded second edition of her bestselling
book, Jennifer Brown takes a deeper dive into what it takes to be an
inclusive leader and examines the challenges and mindsets that continue
to hold many leaders back. Combining nearly two decades of professional
DEI expertise with personal experience and reflection, she tackles
complex topics such as identity, privilege, and systemic inequities.
Following her widely acclaimed Inclusive Leader Continuum, Brown makes
the journey to becoming an inclusive leader more informed and actionable
by offering new structure and content throughout the new edition of the
book, including new insights and stories, detailed strategies and tools,
and discussion guides to spark learning at the individual and
organizational levels.
Whether you are already a fan of the first edition of How to Be an
Inclusive Leader or are just embarking on your journey to become a more
inclusive leader, this book will meet you where you are and equip you to
take action and step into your role in the change effort.
