Recommendation

Anyone can play a role in promoting workplace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), according to thought leader Celeste R. Warren. She provides employees at all levels with a concise, workable guide to becoming a “diversity ambassador.” While you might find some chapters repetitive, Warren offers something for everyone, outlining tailored action plans for individual contributors, frontline managers, senior executives, chief DEI officers and HR professionals. She argues convincingly that any successful diversity ambassador must be self-aware and emotionally intelligent. 

Take-Aways

  • Everyone in an organization has a role to play in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
  • The concept of DEI has now expanded beyond its traditional core dimensions.
  • DEI ambassadors need a range of skills and capabilities, including emotional intelligence.
