The Power of Difference explores the complexities and difficulties that people involved in diversity are dealing with every day, offering insight, analysis and practical solutions. Whether you are an HR professional, a manager, CEO or just engaged with social change and the crucial need to open up the greatest opportunities for all, this book is a must-read. Weaving together his own experience in creating change with the latest research and examples from work with clients, the author brings clarity and wit to the task of combining difference to create real diversity and how to hear all voices in order to create true inclusion. The Power of Difference explores why diversity is about change not just good intentions; why inclusion is not just about being nice to people; why unconscious bias training isn' t the fix we need; why we need to design out the bias; and what combination of difference is needed for a team to achieve its goals. It shows how for innovation and diversity to flourish, we have to create spaces that are safe for disagreement, not from disagreement. Written in an engaging yet practical style, this book courageously tackles some of the most significant issues at work today.
