How To Get Your Act Together

A Judgement-Free Guide to Diversity and Inclusion for Straight White Men

Summary

'Obligatory reading for anyone - straight, white and male or otherwise - who wants to do better but doesn't know where to start.' - People Management

'A pivotal guide for going from awareness to action in creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace and society.' - Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CREATE AND LEAD AN INCLUSIVE, DIVERSE TEAM


The business case for diversity and inclusion is clear - it drives innovation, profit and employer brand. But how can male white leaders help implement this change? There's no denying it's difficult - perhaps you feel left out of the conversation, afraid to make mistakes, and confused about the evolving language of diversity and inclusion.


In this practical guide, leading diversity specialists Felicity Hassan and Suki Sandhu OBE teach you how to create an inclusive environment for your employees and have educated conversations about diversity, navigating what can sometimes be tricky territory with humour and heart.
