Beyond strategies and systems, what really drives workplace equity and inclusion?
The truth is that all historically excluded professionals who have broken through to greater levels of belonging and achievement have succeeded not by systems change alone, but because influential leaders chose to remove barriers, open doors, and guide them toward their goals. The bottom line? Someone made a way for them.
Using case studies, data, and evocative storytelling, Frank outlines how leaders with power and position can clear the path to workplace equity.
Grounded in Research - The insights and strategies found in this book are not only substantiated by Frank’s professional experience, both as a corporate executive and C-Suite consultant, but also by secondary research, interviews with thirty equity and inclusion experts from Fortune 500 companies and leading consultancies, and by a proprietary study conducted in partnership with Brandtrust, a research and strategy firm that utilizes applied social and behavioral sciences to solve complex business challenges.
Additionally, the dozens of experts interviewed for Chapter 7: What Your Company Wants: Performance Drivers, have led equity work at Fortune 500 corporations including Procter & Gamble, Target, Facebook, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Cisco, Starbucks, Walmart, Nike, Raytheon Technologies, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, American Express and more. Their insight represents real-world efforts inside 130 companies and more than 600 years of equity expertise.
The Waymakers not only makes a compelling case for change. It also teaches you how to facilitate that change. Once you’ve read it, you’ll understand why the question is not “what” drives equity and inclusion, but “who.”
And the answer is you.
