"What does a workplace utopia look like to you?" This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks company leaders, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. But how can you get there? Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is. A truly inclusive workplace requires invention and reinvention, mistakes and humility, adaptation to a changing world, constant reflection, and sometimes significant sacrifice. The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way. Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, PwC, Best Buy, Denny's, and many others. Hear from company leaders about their successes and failures, the times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do. These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet. Along the way, Washington provides a framework for thinking about where these companies are on their journeys and where you and your company may be too. Progress is hard won on the necessary journey to becoming an inclusive organization, but it must be won. John Lewis said it best: "You see something you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in."

Nothing less than this is required to scale DEI from interpersonal teeth-pulling to true systemic change.

Dr. Thompson often says that “we have possibly made achieving progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion quite a bit more difficult than it may really need to be.” Foundations And New Frontiers of Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion attempts to address that problem by providing real clarity in several key areas. For one, it will convey a more precise understanding of the key distinctions between each of these three elements as this is essential to sustainable progress. Secondly, it will gift you with an appreciation of how to normalize the discussion around bias. More often than not, to have bias has been equated with being a “bad person”. This creates a huge impediment to any meaningful dialogue, and without dialogue, there will be little or no progress to begin with. A third contribution that you will perhaps appreciate is a comprehensive yet approachable view of how our neurobiology authors the very bias that we abhor. Recognizing the mechanisms by which bias is formed and expressed, equips us with the capacity to minimize cultural collisions and create an empathetic climate. And finally, the tools and strategies for implementing DEI initiatives, as well as, measuring their effectiveness, are worth the read. At the end of the day, DEI becomes something other than a side trip along the journey to organizational effectiveness. It finds itself at the core of what successful organizations already do.

In this landmark book, Scott Page redefines the way we understand ourselves in relation to one another. The Difference is about how we think in groups--and how our collective wisdom exceeds the sum of its parts. Why can teams of people find better solutions than brilliant individuals working alone? And why are the best group decisions and predictions those that draw upon the very qualities that make each of us unique? The answers lie in diversity--not what we look like outside, but what we look like within, our distinct tools and abilities. The Difference reveals that progress and innovation may depend less on lone thinkers with enormous IQs than on diverse people working together and capitalizing on their individuality. Page shows how groups that display a range of perspectives outperform groups of like-minded experts. Diversity yields superior outcomes, and Page proves it using his own cutting-edge research. Moving beyond the politics that cloud standard debates about diversity, he explains why difference beats out homogeneity, whether you're talking about citizens in a democracy or scientists in the laboratory. He examines practical ways to apply diversity's logic to a host of problems, and along the way offers fascinating and surprising examples, from the redesign of the Chicago "El" to the truth about where we store our ketchup. Page changes the way we understand diversity--how to harness its untapped potential, how to understand and avoid its traps, and how we can leverage our differences for the benefit of all.
