Resumen del Editor

In today's increasingly diverse, global, interconnected business world, diversity and inclusion is no longer just the right thing to do, it is a core leadership competency and central to the success of business. Working effectively across differences such as gender, culture, generational, race, and sexual orientation not only leads to a more productive, innovative corporate culture, but also to a better engagement with customers and clients.

The Inclusion Dividend provides a framework to tap the bottom line impact that results from an inclusive culture. Most leaders have the intent to be inclusive, but translating that into a truly inclusive outcome with employees, customers and other stakeholders requires a focused change effort. The authors provide straightforward advice on how to achieve the kind of meritocracy that will result in a tangible dividend and move companies ahead of the competition.

Excellent D&I primer for all level of leader

As a long-time D&I practitioner myself, I was pleasantly surprised by practical guidance offered by Mark Kaplan and Mason Donovan. Their framework for successful D&I initiatives and suggestions for making the pieces stick (the mortar) were excellent.

Okay introduction, but claims over evidence

Any additional comments?

The book often felt somewhat superficial and annoyed me with its lack of rigor. I was hoping for a more reliable source on the topic. It often claimed that there would be a lot of evidence for things, but never provided any. Reported numbers like "D&I businesses outperformed others in 3 out of 5 years" mean nothing and could be entirely random without reporting more details (effect size?). Overall, though, a reasonable introduction to the topic with several nice case descriptions.

Great perspectives

This Thales on tough topics with an approach that includes everyone and doesn't avoid the issues and problems that plague organizations in hoer Diversity and inclusion efforts

Incredibly insightful and relevant!

Does a phenomenal job detailing the case for inclusion in the business environment. Topics of insiders and outsiders, unconscious bias,diversity, and building a meritocracy are some of the concepts that I found insightful and impactful to apply in my own business

Excellent listen

The book usefully explains about subconscious biases, insider groups, and other useful topics. It provides some good discussion topics at the end of each Chapter. It also provides some useful implementation approaches and supporting techniques.

A must read for D&I success

If you have any interest in business success and employee engagement this book is a must! It’s a crash course in D&I and an eye opener for the work needed to have real ROI! Enjoy!
