Viac o knihe

Diversity initiatives are often ineffective, with over $8 billion spent annually on programs that fail to reflect the diversity of workforces and customers in Fortune 500 companies. This book provides leaders with a research-based model from Korn Ferry to cultivate sustainable inclusion. Authors Andrés Tapia and Alina Polonskaia emphasize the necessity of inclusive leaders at all organizational levels. They leverage Korn Ferry’s extensive database of 3 million leadership assessments to identify key qualities of inclusive leaders and outline five essential disciplines: building interpersonal trust, integrating diverse perspectives, optimizing talent, applying an adaptive mindset, and achieving transformation. Each discipline is paired with specific competencies and real-world examples of inclusive leadership. This framework empowers leaders to harness the potential of all individuals and create organizations that are both structurally and behaviorally inclusive. By developing these skills, leaders can effectively navigate today’s complex challenges and contribute to a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future for everyone.
