Inclusive Leadership, Global Impact

The concepts from this book helped me tremendously during my MBA journey!

The media could not be loaded. An engaging 360 degree look at the many moving parts, opportunities, and challenges that come in honing true competencies for being a leader in a contemporary diverse environment. The updates make it even more robust and ensure that it will stand the test of time as the world becomes more connected. This book uses a modern structure with a practical engaging narrative to suit any learning style. I will continue to recommend this book to all my globally-minded executive clients. It has also been a great resource for me personally to constantly challenge my own assumptions and biases and take action on being a more effective trainer and coach.

This is an excellent book, highly practical, full of real examples and anecdotes, and a clear presentation of how to develop as an inclusive leader. Too much is written on this topic that too “local”. This book is different as the authors take us across world regions and explore important - and extremely current topics - such as race, ethnicity, bias, and inclusion in the context of how to improve employee and team performance in different regions. What seems to be challenging is dealt with in a way that is both solution- based, practical, and insightful. This book is a must read for leaders willing to take initiatives to engage and retain employees within their organizations. The hands-on experience of the authors shines through.

As a newcomer to the world of DEI work, this book as been an invaluable resource. I read this book with a few coworkers as part of an informal book club, and it has not only prompted my own internal reflection on what I can do to help create an inclusive workplace, but it has also sparked a dialogue about DEI initiatives and inclusive leadership at our organization. I cannot recommend this book enough to those who seek to gain the practical knowledge and insight to foster everyday inclusion at the organization.

I enjoy using this book for teaching and training. There are so many valuable tools in the IDEA space; this book is one of those tools because of the consistency with trends, writing about the scholarship, and providing ideas and strategies for being more inclusive.The book provides tips and activities for deepening the learning for students (undergrad and grad), a thorough explanation of the five stages, uses a global perspective to match the global workforce, and great stories for discussion in class.This is a must-have for anyone working in business or education seeking to have a global impact.

I read this book as part of a book club at work. We've been talking about global rollouts and local execution of our DEI initiatives quite a bit over the last few years at our organization, but this book was one of the first I've read that truly breaks down the complexities into concrete, actionable steps. We can all do better to make our workplaces more inclusive - this book was a nice way for me to (re) jumpstart my own personal inclusion journey.

This is an excellent contribution to the literature on leadership. It provides concrete, research-backed guidance and examples as well an awareness that diversity factors vary significantly from culture to culture. Thus sharpens the reader's perceptions and awareness to be an effective leader in organizations globally. The book is accessible to the uninitiated but just as relevant and interesting to those already steeped in the diversity & inclusion field. And last but not least, the authors are seriously witty. Definitely Five Stars!

I read this book with a coworker, and we gained new insight on the challenges and opportunities for inclusive global leadership. I appreciated the emphasis of the importance of cultural perspective in developing global inclusion initiatives. This book offers compelling data, research, and examples that back the empathy-driven points being made, and is a helpful resource for DEI work and inclusive leadership in our modern world.
