<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Corporate America is not very diverse; we're a long way off from having equal representation of people of color in many organizations, especially in key executive and leadership positions. Many white leaders want to make change, but don't know how. How do you know where your blind spots are that can create obstacles for People of Color? Your intentions may be sincere and heartfelt, but intentions aren't enough. If you don't know how you come across to others and you don't know how to build bridges, people can be offended, jobs can be lost, and lawsuits can be filed. This book is not a book on social activism. Nor is it a book on diversity & inclusion from an HR perspective. This book provides the roadmap for how white businesspeople can successfully create a fair and equal workplace that recognizes diverse talent and fosters productive and constructive conversations across different perspectives that make business better for everyone"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>It's time the business world got the actionable, impactful, no-cost strategies needed to increase diversity and inclusion in the workplace </b></p> <p>Many white leaders want to create change but don't know how to do so appropriately and effectively.
