Just Work

How to Confront Bias, Prejudice and Bullying to Build a Culture of Inclusivity

De: Kim Scott

Narrado por: Gabra Zackman

From Kim Scott, author of the revolutionary New York Times bestseller Radical Candor, comes Just Work – how we can recognize, attack and eliminate workplace injustice – and transform our careers and organizations in the process.

'Powerful and perceptive . . . belongs on the shelves – and in the hearts and minds – of leaders everywhere.' – Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of To Sell is Human

We – all of us – consistently exclude, underestimate and under-utilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it’s bad for business. Just Work is the solution.

In Just Work Kim Scott reveals a practical framework for both respecting everyone’s individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect.
