From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Within the first 30 minutes of the movie there is a scene where Morpheus is asking Neo if he wants to know the truth? Does he want to know about The Matrix? As Morpheus begins to close the dialogue with Neo, he offers him the final opportunity to learn about the Matrix by giving him the choice of taking one of two pills – the blue one or the red one. If he takes the blue one, Neo will go back to his normal life as it was before he met Morpheus. If he takes the red pill, he will then find out the truth of the Matrix! As you may know, Neo took the red pill and found out the truth of the Matrix and that he was the ONE! Now! You may be wondering what in the heck do the Matrix, Neo, Morpheus, red and blue pills have to do with Diversity, Inclusion, and Recruiting? Well, this book is the red pill. It is the truth about Diversity Recruiting, which I now call Inclusion Recruiting. I will get to why I call it Inclusion Recruiting shortly. Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to be involved with numerous projects that involved recruiting diverse talent for various Fortune 500 Companies. I have seen companies have success and failure in those efforts. Those experiences have been as an internal Corporate HR/Recruiting professional, or as an external consultant and advisor. It is a combination of those experiences that have led me to create a comprehensive guide to diversity recruiting in Corporate America. And of course, I will be putting a unique spin on how to ensure your success. The Death of Diversity RecruitingAs you may know, the concept of Diversity has gone through various changes over the last 40 or so years: 1960's – Affirmative Action 1970's – Assimilation and Compliance 1980's – Valuing Diversity 1990's – Managing Diversity Y2k – Creating Inclusion The causes of diversity recruiting death: • Diversity Fatigue • Lack of Understanding • Lack of Accountability • Downturn in the Economy
