This book is listed as a must-read and leveraged in corporate and academic classrooms across the world. Diversity and inclusion is a journey.

In today's increasingly diverse, global, interconnected business world, diversity and inclusion is no longer just the right thing to do, it is a core leadership competency and central to the success of the business. Working effectively across differences such as gender, culture, generational, race, and sexual orientation not only leads to a more productive, innovative corporate culture, but also a better engagement with customers and clients. This book provides a framework to tap the bottom-line impact that results from an inclusive culture.

The authors provide straightforward advice on how to achieve the kind of meritocracy that will result in a tangible dividend and move companies ahead of the competition.
