Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership

This book was shortlisted for the National Business Book Award 2022.

What accounts for the lack of diversity in leadership positions?

Looking carefully at how current leaders view the relationship between top tier management and diverse groups, Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership examines recruitment selection, performance evaluation, workplace succession, working conditions, and corporate culture and how they impact hiring, promotion, and retention of diverse groups.

Using a psychological, organisational, and cultural framework, Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership will help businesses integrate a more diverse presence in leadership. Emphasising the interlocking relationship between our thoughts and actions, this book stresses the importance of organisational review and self-reflection, as well as the pivotal role of removing unconscious biases from the workplace and identifying the systemic biases embedded in many aspects of human resources management practices.
