Showing results for "A Reflection" in Workplace & Organisational Behavior

Commenting on a webinar I gave, a lady mentioned that my voice resembled Sean Connery's, the ultimate James Bond. Looking at her Linkedln profile I noticed she was in the editing business. I thanked her for the compliment and asked if she had any tips on how to get a book published. Her reaction was simple and straightforward: "There are already too many books." Nevertheless, I pursued my efforts and wrote yet another book on quality management.

Ifeomasinachi Ike delivers a moving and impactful exploration of why equity is so important, the shortcomings of institutional diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives, and how we creatively and boldly design cultures centering the expertise of those who know firsthand how inequity has shaped work culture. The book examines the dynamics of normalized institutional oppression, offers real-world case studies, and provides listeners with new practices, key performance indicators (KPIs), and milestones for measuring the success of modern DEI efforts.

This essay is an acid test assessment for those considering the challenge of leading diversity, equity and inclusion efforts within organizations. Bell asks tough questions and provides anecdotes, insights, and tips that help the listener contemplate the difficulty of the task, the level of preparation required, and the significant commitment needed to succeed.
