Leo Harmon shares his top resource materials with our listeners (50:20):
I'd like to share a couple of good books that I've read this year that deal with the structure of inequity and how it has a real deleterious impact on society. One would be Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. There's another book called The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee which really talks about how zero-sum outcomes in society really bring everyone down. And if we can expand the pie, we can have a much more prosperous society. One of the books I've read from one of our consultants, Andres Tapia, The Five Disciplines of Inclusive Leaders, has been really instructive in helping with my thought process. Andres has been a thought leader in this space for a long time and does a lot of good work.
And then there are lots of websites that are just chock full of data around a lot of these items. So the Society for Human Resource Management, Korn Ferry, McKinsey has done a ton of work around DEI initiatives. As well as Boston Consulting. You know, all of those folks have done a good job. And so if you, if you truly value this work and think it can be valuable to your organization, those would be some of the action items I would leave with you in order to better increase your framework and your thought process around these initiatives.
