Praise

“If thought leadership is about advancing a body of work, Dr. Anand’s new book is the quintessential thought leadership primer for global DEI. Well-written and filled with illuminating storytelling, this is an engaging read that presents a compelling case to push for the kind of change that addresses inequities globally while grounding it within a local context.”
—Indra Nooyi, former Chairman and CEO, PepsiCo

“Rohini Anand is sui generis. She has led the diversity efforts of an organization and made it a place vastly different than the one she entered. Using her own experience in global inclusion, equity, and diversity transformation, Rohini writes about the principles that can guide a new generation that will carry the torch forward. Her book is, above all, a story of hope that we are getting better at aligning our values with our actions.”
—Mahzarin R. Banaji, Richard Clarke Cabot Professor of Social Ethics, Department of Psychology, Harvard University

“Inclusion, diversity, and equity are critical to social cohesion, economic resilience, and the future of democracy. Dr. Anand’s book presents deep insights from multiple perspectives that are critical to corporate and government leaders serious about steering today’s organizations.”
—Muriel Penicaud, French Ambassador, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and former Minister of Labor, France

“Drawing on her decades of experience, Dr. Rohini Anand offers a crucial road map for any leader who wishes to advance diversity and inclusion globally. Dr. Anand’s practical and nuanced advice will empower leaders in multinational organizations to push for transformational change while being attuned to local conditions.”

In it, Dr. Anand gives the reader an honest look into her experiences in leading global DEI for over thirty years, which makes this book a must-have for all leaders wrestling with the complexities of change in the global context.”
—Stephanie J. Creary, organizational scholar and Assistant Professor of Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

—Lorraine Hariton, President and CEO, Catalyst
