“Healthy leaders understand that the status quo only works for certain identity groups and that people are having radically different experiences in society and the workplace.”
Ms. Brown has a plain language style of providing key reminders, challenging questions and calls to action with each chapter. I love this question she poses, “how much of my world was built with me in mind?” – which is an easy way to see the privilege (or lack of) you have. She isn’t bringing forward entirely new concepts, she’s bringing forward a call to be better leaders for the benefit of the world. I encourage you to read, share, and discuss this one.
