In “DISRUPTIVE INCLUSION: The Serious Leader’s Guide to Unifying Culture and Winning In the Marketplace”, the only DEI or Inclusion Leader in America with his rare set of credentials provides specific tactics that help organizations and leaders achieve immediate progress, long term success and industry disruptive competitive advantage. Chris Simmons is the pioneering former Chief Diversity Officer of PwC who led PwC into the ranks of the top 10 DEI programs in America, and later became the first black Governing Board member of PwC and Regional Managing Partner leading 3,000 people. No other expert in the field has led a “Hall of Fame” diversity program, had major revenue and client responsibilities, served on a Fortune 250 equivalent governing board, been a mergers and acquisitions leader and been a major force in the Black, Latino, Asian, Women and LGBTQ+ movements. Chris Simmons advises with the specificity of someone with deep “in the trenches” experience and the big picture strategy innovative approach of a seasoned board and leadership team member.
In a conversational style that feels like a personal one-on-one chat, Chris Simmons clearly identifies the weaknesses of traditional execution approaches and then provides an “Eat This” not “That” level of granular advice. While others circle the airport with high level summaries of what needs to happen for companies and organizations to create inclusive cultures, maximize talents of all people, and grow revenues, Chris lands the plane smoothly into the runway named “Competitive Advantage “.
This book is essential for CEOs, CHROs, Chief People Officers, CDOs, law firm leaders, executives, directors, managers, HR professionals, ERG and Affinity group leaders, and Diversity Committee participants.
