The Advantage of Other: A Leader?s Guide to Building an Equitable, Dynamic, and Productive Workplace

The Advantage of Other is a practical, personable guide for anyone who has the right intentions around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, but doesn’t have the tools they need to create a long-term, sustainable cultural shift in their company culture.

If you are a little intimidated by the concepts of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, this book will teach you everything you need to know about transforming your workplace from the inside out.

The chapters will touch on the five pillars of an organization: People, Presence, Pipeline, Partners, and Profits. Each chapter includes personal stories and struggles, clear goals and objects, and actionable objectives and recommendations for personal and professional transformation. Written in a clear, personable and easy-to-understand style, this book will take you step by step through the process of creating a culture of inclusivity to build a high performing team.
