Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Whether it's the composition of a company's leadership team or identifying the candidates that are a 'good fit' with the organisation, racial divisions play out as starkly in the workplace as they do in wider society. What can we do to eradicate bias and create a more diverse, inclusive and equitable environment?

Social psychologist Robert Livingston has made it his life's work to show people how to turn difficult conversations about race into productive instances of real change. With wit and clarity, The Conversation distils Livingston's decades of research and practice into a solution-oriented road map for anyone seeking to uproot entrenched biases in the workplace.

Founded on extensive data and blending psychology, sociology, management and behavioural economics, Livingston's framework reveals that racism can be defeated with the right information, incentives, strategy and implementation. With vivid storytelling, The Conversation explores the root causes of racism, ways to foster greater empathy and solidarity and offers tangible steps to progress towards racial equality. It is the essential tool for turning well-intentioned diversity statements into measurable, achievable outcomes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Diversity

I do want to make it very clear that my observation is very specific to what can be done about racial diversity especially by business.

The fact that we are even having to discuss this in times where we are actively discussing about artificial intelligence / robotics replacing human across several industry sectors is itself a reflection of lack of desire from the privileged community to just window dress this for convenience whenever it mattered.

The book carefully constructs and provides very strong context to the entire conversation around racial diversity, unlike most others.

If leadership at organisations is considered among key vehicles to address this aspect within the community (not just in US) globally, the book certainly provides very little inspiration.
