Diversity & Inclusion for Leaders by Raj Tulsiani
Award-winning Diversity Headhunter, Raj Tulsiani, sets out provocative but practical approach to achieving sustainable change in diversity and inclusion in his debut book, 'Diversity and Inclusion for Leaders: making a difference with The Diversity Headhunter'.
Most leaders would say they value diversity and inclusion in their organisations, and many are already trying to implement policies because it is morally the “right” thing to do. Yet, for many companies there are significant gaps between rhetoric and action, and even those companies who are making positive steps in establishing a more diverse workforce sometimes fall short when it comes to true inclusion.
The reality is that focusing on the moral argument for diversity and inclusion is not just inappropriate in the business setting, it is obstructive. Framing the issue in terms of right and wrong makes it impossible to begin a collaborative journey of change. The ‘journey’ approach to change is not a soft option. It’s the only way to accomplish real, sustainable change. Instead of trying to create an organisation ‘that works for everyone’, the aim is to make sure that everyone works for the organisation.’
In an insightful new book, Diversity and Inclusion for Leaders, Raj Tulsiani presents a compelling case for the commercial value of diversity and inclusion that goes beyond the moral issues. It gives readers a comprehensive understanding of the issues and provides an actionable framework on how to not only master diversity and inclusion, but also how to profit from it.
