How to Be an Inclusive Leader, Second Edition

A step-by-step leadership framework for moving from passive DEI awareness to active advocacy, grounded in nearly two decades of consulting practice and hard-won personal experience.

Leaders often know inequity exists in their organizations but don't know how to act, or worry they'll get it wrong. This expanded second edition gives them a clear, non-judgmental path forward using the acclaimed Inclusive Leader Continuum, a four-stage model that meets readers wherever they are and maps specific actions for moving forward.

What's inside:

• Four stages of inclusive leadership: unaware, aware, active, and advocate, each with hallmarks, real-world stories, and practical strategies
• Tools including the inner circle inventory, the iceberg identity framework, and a free online inclusive leader assessment
• A new chapter on identity, privilege, and what holds leaders back, written as a “call-in” rather than a call-out
• Chapter discussion guides designed for individual reflection and team learning

Who it's for: Leaders at any level, from first-time managers to senior executives, especially those who feel uncertain about where to start or how to show up more effectively.

What you'll leave with: The language, frameworks, and confidence to stop sitting on the sidelines and start using your influence to build workplaces where everyone can thrive.
