Birds of all feathers : doing diversity and inclusion right / by Bach, Michael,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Diversity" and "inclusion" have become buzz words. They're used in casual conversation by CEOs and world leaders alike. But what do these words mean, why do they matter ... and why did you just pick up a book about them? In Birds of All Feathers, speaker, author and D&I expert Michael Bach argues that creating diverse, inclusive workplaces is not just the right thing to do--it is the smart thing to do. It embraces an ethos of innovation and creativity. It's good for you and your employees, it strengthens your organization, and it benefits the people you serve. Whether you are in the arts, health, non-profit, for-profit, or another sector, there is a business case for making your organization a space of true inclusion. Birds of All Feathers shows you how to discover your organization's "why," how to implement and sustain beneficial changes, and how to measure its success. With more than twenty years of experience in the field, Michael Bach, founder of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI), lays out what can be a complex topic in expertly accessible terms and teaches you how to do D&I right.

Osman Shah is a pitstop on his white colleague Olivia Robinson's quest for corporate domination at AAP, an edutech startup determined to automate higher education.

Aided by his colleague turned comrade-in-arms Nena, who loathes and tolerates him in equal measure, Osman delves into Olivia's twisted past. But at every turn, he's stymied by his unfailing gift for cruel observation, which he turns with most ferocity on himself, without ever noticing what it is that stops him from connecting to anyone in his past or present. As Osman loses his grip on his family, Nena, and everything he thought was essential to his identity, he confronts an enemy who may simply be too good at her job to be defeated.

Today, the new market leaders are "Mindshare" companies, where influence is more important than power and success relies on collaboration and the ability to inspire. Markova and McArthur believe that the key to collaborating effectively with our colleagues is respecting "intellectual diversity," the ways we think and process information differently. Each of us brings unique and varied thinking talents to the table, and when we understand intellectual diversity, we can come together like a symphony orchestra. Through fascinating exercises and revealing case studies, readers discover their own unique "Mind Patterns" and "Thinking Talents," and learn how to recognize the same in their colleagues. Collaborative Intelligence is the culmination of over 35 years of original research and draws upon Markova's background in neuroscience and her work as a "thinking partner" to Fortune 500 CEOs and some of the world's top creative talents. It is essential reading for anyone who works as part of a team, who manages others, or simply wants to better understand how people think"--Provided by publisher.LSC
