This book will address bias head on, recognising that we cannot completely eliminate bias as it is intricately woven into the way our human brain functions, but we can certainly make efforts to become more aware of our biases, work hard to block them and most importantly minimise its impact on our organisations and the people working in them. This book aims to provide leaders with the skills and tools needed to lead through this bias. The chapters of the book - Leading with conviction, Leading with clarity, Leading with accountability, Leading with allyship and Leading with strength - focus on the five essential skills needed to block bias to nurture diversity, equity and inclusion at work.
