A must read if you are targeting to create a true and genuine inclusive organizational culture!

Revisado: 12-18-22

Certainly, a must read! The book offers an honest, practical and actionable framework to follow for the intentional and genuine creation of an organizational culture focused on belonging. In that culture, she states...everyone "feels a deep sense of purpose, pride and acceptance BECAUSE, not in spite, the traits and attributes which make us who we are".

Patrice brilliantly showcases why DE&I policies, trainings and intentional recruiting efforts are good starting points, but are not enough to develop a sustainable diverse and inclusive culture. She specifically explains and demonstrate through different examples why programs like Reverse Mentoring are needed to achieve leadership behaviors and day to day actions which are more inclusive and representative of all employees. Through frequent interactions between the mentor (representative of those less represented within the organization) and mentee (leaders of the organization) a deep level of understanding on our believes, differences, commonalities, unconscious biases and barriers is achieved. With this attained true understanding we can then move forward together to address inequities which at the end will level the playing field and move us closer to a true meritocracy environment in which the most capable person (independent of demographics) will get the opportunity to thrive.

I find the content of this book relevant not only at the organizational but also at our day to day personal level.

Certainly a candidate for re-read! re-hear!
