Forty-one-year Army veteran General (Ret.) Martin Dempsey and 41-year-old UC Berkeley associate professor Ori Brafman have been friends for almost 10 years. Though they have almost nothing in common, their collaboration has produced a powerful message. Their new book, Radical Inclusion, examines today’s leadership landscape and describes the change it demands of leaders. The nature of power is changing and should not be measured by degree of control alone.

Convincing on why without the how
Revisado: 08-27-22
Named as a foundational book by a business executive, I found this convincing about the definition, purpose, and benefits of inclusion and how radical inclusion has to be repeated, reiterated, and restated in order to create trust. What's missing other than a few military examples, are things like business examples of implementation, results, pitfalls, how challenges can be overcome, and how to track or test the spread of inclusive behavior and thought in your organization. The only examples of people that didn't fall in line with his concept of radical inclusion were described as having other issues, like drug habits or getting in fights. Weren't there any highly capable people that pushed back on what you were saying or how you did it which were challenging to contend with?
This feels like a long setup for a second book that talks about how. I'd rather be convinced and educated in one book rather than convinced in one and educated in another. You can pull several actionable ideas out of here, but you'll have to take the examples, break them down into their key characteristics, and then build up feasible actions within your business that feature the same characteristics. Ideas like creating shared memories, the power of physical tokens connected to shared experience, and repeating the same idea differently depending on your audience (at one point it's mentioned how well read Dempsey was and how he used literary experiences to restate ideas and I thought we were going to get examples of that, but no).
Certainly one book can't effectively teach all of the skills necessary to instill radical inclusion effectively in a large organization (risk, prioritization, communication, etc.), but the author, who is effective at all of these things, should stop anywhere the execution of his key principle requires certain skills he's developed and at least provide reference to materials that he used or that will help develop those skills in others.
Perhaps a business parable could do just that in the near future where a senior leader helps a junior leader in a branch office spread radical inclusion deeply throughout their organization.

When Hanna and Jack receive an ultimatum from the only investor in their struggling tea supply company, they must learn how to employ Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) with radical focus to get the right things done. Using Hanna and Jack’s story, Wodtke walks listeners through how to inspire a diverse team to work together in pursuit of a single, challenging goal, and how to stay motivated despite setbacks and failures.

Great narrator and organization
Revisado: 10-31-21
The TeeBee story can get a little long-winded at times, but overall does a nice job of outlining the problem without OKRs, the difficulty of implementing them, and the benefits of sticking with it. The How-To section after the story is great with practical advice, such as implementing lightweight OKRs and experimenting before committing to a technology solution.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

First off, all audiobooks should take a hint from this format - utilizing a combination of sources and voices to make content more engaging, especially where there are opportunities for interviews or other content that can be richer than writing. While audiobooks can't capture the rich features of books like charts, forms, and photos, they should make use of their own unique advantages other than just convenience.
While the production value was great at times, I was left wondering why I just listened to this. It was not at all what I was expecting. Nazis, spies, and cops are a little hard to relate to and these are extreme examples of listening to strangers. Those stories would have made a great setup, but rather than ever transitioning to the payoff of HOW to talk to strangers, there are just more examples of how people fail in extreme situations.
Long story short, we don't see people's true emotions because we default to believing the best about others. The author is torn about whether or not that is a good thing, but leans towards believing that the world is better because we default to truth and finding a healthy middle ground between doubt and trust is likely impossible. Therefore, what happened when people defaulted to truth was better than what happened with the officer who defaulted to mistrust.
What I'm left with is imagining the author saying, "Hey, I've collected all of these interesting stories about people misunderstanding each other. Does someone else want to write a book about how to talk to strangers?"
