Recommendation

Business leaders increasingly are appreciating the value of diversity to innovation, decision-making and bottom lines. Alas, cultural programming still gets in the way, even for well-intentioned leaders. Diversity consultant and brand strategist Tayo Rockson offers an inspiring set of tools to help leaders demolish internal and cultural barriers to change. Not for the fainthearted, Rockson pushes readers to confront their personal biases, act against injustice and reach across cultural divides. His brief read is packed with skills and authentic vision.

Take-Aways

  • Learning to connect across differences will enhance your leadership of diverse organizations and help you contribute to a better world.
  • Educating yourself – about yourself – is the most powerful action you can take.
  • By learning about your community and cultural context, you can learn more about yourself, too.

    I think that it's interesting and important for us all to learn more about ourselves so we can relate better with others.
