ABOUT JUST WORK:
Are bias, prejudice, and bullying inevitable in the workplace? Of course they aren’t, writes bestselling author, operating executive, and CEO coach Kim Scott in JUST WORK: How to Root Out Bias, Prejudice, and Bullying to Build a Kick-Ass Culture of Inclusivity. It is possible to combat workplace injustice so that we can all do the best work of our lives and enjoy working together. Writing with the signature directness and unmistakable integrity that made her New York Times bestselling book Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity a worldwide smash hit, Scott boldly tackles a stubborn problem harming both individuals and the larger economy: we—all of us—consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize some people in the workforce even as we over-include, overestimate, and over-promote others. Scott offers practical suggestions for what we can do, today, to clear away the distraction, injustice and inefficiency of inequity so we can just work.
