About this title

Synopsis

When the 47th President of the United States signed an Executive Order to dismantle DEI across federal agencies, many people thought this could mean the end of diversity, equity and inclusion.

In Is DEI DOA?, renowned engagement strategist Rodney Patterson, drawing on more than three decades of experience guiding organizations across America through their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts invites readers to look beyond the headlines and the politics to discover what truly drives success outcomes like performance, bottom line growth, and the development of healthy, productive cultures in the workplace, marketplace and other institutions.

It’s engagement!

Through storytelling, real-world examples, and lessons learned from higher education to corporate boardrooms, Patterson reveals:

• Why traditional DEI efforts have stalled.
• The historical journey from affirmative action to engagement, and what each step means today.
• How morale, productivity, and trust are related to and impacted by disengagement and what leaders can do about it.
• A clear, actionable framework for building cultures of success, driven by higher levels of engagement.

Whether you’re a CEO, HR professional, educator, leader or individual contributor navigating uncertainty in today’s polarized climate, this book offers a fresh, hopeful, and practical roadmap forward.
