  • Attracting and hiring a diverse workforce

  • Amplifying and advocating for others
  • Giving effective and equitable performance feedback

Forces a hard look at yourself.

I found the information helpful and challenging at the same time. I've always thought of myself as an ally, but concepts in the book challenged my assumptions. Overall, I came away with new techniques that can improve me being an upstander.
