Inclusion efforts at organizations consistently encounter obstacles that undercut their objectives and frustrate their goals. It is the role of leaders to ensure that these inclusion efforts not only survive but thrive. Good intentions alone are insufficient, leaders need the right strategies, frameworks and support to transform inclusive cultures and brands from mere concepts to tangible realities. In their groundbreaking book, Inclusion Unlocked , a unique team comprising of a distinguished professor, a gold-medal winning Paralympic athlete and an award-winning organizational psychologist provides an insightful guide for leaders to take meaningful action. Within the pages of this book, you'll discover the Inclusive Leader Scorecard model, a behavioral roadmap to the 12 essential dimensions for building an inclusive organization and brand. This model is complemented by an online diagnostic tool that allows you to precisely assess your strengths, identify gaps and uncover blind spots, thereby enabling you to focus your efforts where they matter most. The authors offer firsthand accounts of how prominent CEOs, Chief People Officers, and Chief Diversity Officers successfully navigated diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging initiatives and deftly avoided the pitfalls. They impart the invaluable lessons these leaders learned from the inclusion challenges and accomplishments.

This book delves into what truly works and dispels myths, offering practical tools and techniques that inspire you to actively engage with the material rather than passively consume it. Leaders are encouraged to test out concepts and ideas in the book by completing exercises first themselves before sharing with those they lead. In essence, Inclusion Unlocked is an indispensable resource tailored for business leaders from any industry or sector, large or small. It provides a practical and easily navigable guide to advance your organization's diversity and inclusion initiatives. It's a must-read book for leaders seeking to expedite progress but who, until now, have lacked a clear and impactful roadmap to achieve this important goal.
