Companies spend billions of dollars annually on diversity efforts, with remarkably few results. Too often diversity efforts rest on the assumption that all that's needed is an earnest conversation about "privilege." That's not enough. To truly make progress with diversity, equity and inclusion, we must focus less on documenting the problem and more on just stopping the transmission of it.

Leadership selection isn't the methodical, objective process we imagine. Decisions aren't made by robotic executives ticking boxes for attributes like strategic fit, core competencies, or cultural alignment. Instead, the process is deeply personal, emotional, and often unpredictable. If you think it's purely merit-based, you're not CEO ready. But don't worry, Mark Thompson and Byron Loflin have coached thousands of candidates through the process and have seen it all—they know what it takes to become truly CEO ready and they're sharing it here.

This book will inspire you to: overhaul performance management practices to jump-start motivation and engagement; use agile processes to transform how you hire, develop, and manage people; establish diversity programs that increase innovation and competitiveness as well as inclusion; use people analytics to bring unprecedented insight to hiring and talent management; prepare your company for the double waves of artificial intelligence and an older workforce; and close the gap between HR and strategy.
