This book is the first practical, hands-on guide that shows how leaders can build psychological safety in their organizations, creating an environment where employees feel included, fully engaged, and encouraged to contribute their best efforts and ideas.
Fear has a profoundly negative impact on engagement, learning efficacy, productivity, and innovation, but until now there has been a lack of practical information on how to make employees feel safe about speaking up and contributing. Timothy Clark, a social scientist and an organizational consultant, provides a framework to move people through successive stages of psychological safety. The first stage is member safety-the team accepts you and grants you shared identity. Learner safety, the second stage, indicates that you feel safe to ask questions, experiment, and even make mistakes. Next is the third stage of contributor safety, where you feel comfortable participating as an active and full-fledged member of the team. Finally, the fourth stage of challenger safety allows you to take on the status quo without repercussion, reprisal, or the risk of tarnishing your personal standing and reputation. This is a blueprint for how any leader can build positive, supportive, and encouraging cultures in any setting.

Diversity initiatives are falling short. This book shows leaders how to develop the skills needed to build sustainably inclusive organizations using a tested, research-based model developed by the global organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry.
According to the journal Human Resource Management, companies are spending over $8 billion a year on diversity programs. Yet today, the senior leadership teams at Fortune 500 companies are far from mirroring the diversity of its workforce and its customers. Andrés Tapia and Alina Polonskaia, senior leaders at Korn Ferry, argue that to build sustainable diversity and inclusion, organizations need to have inclusive leaders at all levels.
In this book, Tapia and Polonskaia draw on Korn Ferry's massive database of 3 million leadership assessments to reveal the essential qualities of inclusive leaders. They discuss the personality traits these leaders share and detail how to develop what they call the five disciplines of inclusive leadership: building interpersonal trust, integrating diverse perspectives, optimizing talent, applying an adaptive mindset, and achieving transformation.
Tapia and Polonskaia also outline the competencies behind each discipline, describe individual and organizational exemplars of inclusive leadership, and show how the five disciplines enable leaders to unleash the power of all people and to build both structurally and behaviorally inclusive organizations. This book will help leaders foster the skills to deal with today's complex challenges and create a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future for all of us.

Workplaces are increasingly diverse, yet the top of the house continues to look the same. This is diversity without inclusion. And without inclusion at all levels, organizations miss out on greater innovation, talent optimization, access to diverse marketplaces, and the ability to successfully navigate disruption. More effective leadership is needed to drive this transformation.
Andrés Tapia and Alina Polonskaia, senior client partners at international consulting powerhouse Korn Ferry, draw on Korn Ferry's extensive research and the actual experiences and perspectives of inclusive leaders to identify five disciplines of inclusive leadership:
• Build interpersonal trust
• Integrate diverse perspectives
• Optimize talent
• Apply an adaptive mindset
• Achieve transformation
They outline the competencies behind each discipline, describe individual and organizational exemplars of inclusive leadership, and show how the five disciplines enable leaders to tackle tough diversity challenges. This book will help leaders build the skills to meet the demands of the present and leverage opportunities in uncharted territories that will take their organizations to the next level.

A comprehensive new model for creating inclusive organizations, illuminating the vital role that inclusion plays in developing solutions to the critical social, environmental, and leadership challenges we face.
Most organizational DE&I efforts are focused on changing individual behaviors. But unless you change the organizational structures-the practices, processes, and systems that surround and support individual behaviors-your change efforts will not take root. Structural inclusion makes behavioral inclusion stick.
Andrs Tapia and Fayruz Kirtzman have found that five disciplines encompass the structures, mindsets, behaviors, and accountabilities required for creating inclusive organizations that will have transformational impact not only on their culture and people but also on society and the planet:
1: Manage the Risk: know how to deal with the legal, reputational, and cultural risks of either doing the wrong thing, or not doing the right thing.
2: Explode the Awareness: make sure leaders and employees are deeply informed about, and publicly committed to, the value of DE&I.
3: Maximize the Talent Systems: ensure that leaders and managers display inclusive behaviors when they manage and optimize talent.
4: Master the Logistics: integrate DE&I into operations in ways that lead to improved efficiencies.
5: See the Marketplace: expand to new consumer market segments, enhance cross culturally competent customer service, and form effective partnerships with overlooked communities.
The authors provide assessment tools and case studies of organizations that have implemented each discipline, highlighting what worked and what tripped them up. And they take a wider view, showing how inclusive organizations practicing the five disciplines can address what they call society's four vital tasks: diversify leadership, eradicate polarization, achieve justice, and save the planet. This is a complete guide to how to make your organization a systematic, process-oriented engineer of change for the full range of your stakeholders.

The final guide in the acclaimed inclusivity trilogy introduces an actionable 5-step framework for building truly equitable, high-performing teams.
In today's workplace, teams are the key organizing principle through which most work gets done. This makes teams the prime environment where employees can feel they truly belong, are valued, and contribute their best. However, simply having a diverse team does not automatically translate to more innovation and performance. True inclusion must be operationalized. With decades of experience leading organizations and developing cutting-edge research, Andrés Tapias and Michel Buffet provide a revolutionary 5 Disciplines model to build authentically inclusive teams that unlock the full potential of diverse perspectives.
Based on Tapias' work at Korn Ferry, an international consultancy powerhouse, the 5 Disciplines are:
•Connecting - Going beyond surface levels to deeply understand team members
•Caring - Actively supporting teammates' professional and personal needs
•Storytelling - Sharing powerful narratives that transform mindsets
•Executing - Implementing inclusive practices to get work done equitably
•Innovating - Harnessing diverse ideas to create new value and win the future
By mastering these 5 Disciplines, teams create an environment of true belonging and psychological safety. Members feel empowered to take risks, have candid discussions, and collectively arrive at bold innovations. The result is unparalleled creativity, engagement, and performance that diverse teams promise but seldom fully achieve without intentional inclusivity. With insightful guidance, real-world examples, and a tested framework, this book provides the essential operating system for building inclusive teams that shape the future.

Adopting the latest agile tools and practices won't be enough to respond to rapid market change. Leaders must first lay the groundwork by creating the right environment for these tools to work.
Many managers struggle to install the underlying organizational operating system for business agility. High-performing agile organizations depend on the strength of six key enabling factors: leadership, culture, structure, people, governance, and ways of working. This book explains why these factors are important and how they work together to increase organizational agility. Real-world examples, stories, and tools will help leaders get realistic about the scope of changes needed in their organizations and show them how to get started.
Karim Harbott does not offer a book of recipes. Instead, he focuses on mindset, principles, and general patterns. This book summarizes of the most important factors in increasing organizational agility and why they work, which leaders will need to consider in a so-called agile transformation. Because every organization is different, each will have its own route to agility and high performance. Managers will need to tackle all the areas that are crucial to creating an environment in which any chosen approach can work.

An ever-growing pile of frameworks and tools falsely offer an “easy route” to organizational agility. However, responding to rapid market change requires you alter so much more than just your way of working.

From years of experience certifying people in agile leadership, product ownership, and scrum mastery, Karim Harbott has created a model that will help your organization achieve all six factors required for success: leadership, culture, structure, engagement, and governance as well as ways of working together. Drawing from Harbott's famous Business Agility Canvas, this book will help leaders get realistic about the scope of the changes needed in their organization and show them how to get started.

Not only must project managers contend with schedules, budgets, and a host of stakeholder demands, but they must also deal with sometimes vexing human behaviors, such as whining, indecision, opposition, inflexibility, complacency, and tunnel vision, to name a few. Projects can be negatively impacted by common "sins" that hinder, stall, or throw the project off track.
In The 77 Deadly Sins of Project Management, the contributors focus on each "deadly sin" and probe its manifestations and consequences for projects. By sharing their personal experiences, as well as some historical events, the contributors spotlight the effects and costs — both financial and human — of failing to get a handle on these sins and reign them in. Through anecdotes and case studies, The 77 Deadly Sins of Project Management will help you better understand how to execute the myriad aspects of today's projects.
• Identify danger signs and solutions for each "sin"
• Learn proven methods for tackling project mishaps
• Gain practical and hands-on information from seasoned professionals
• Keep a variety of "sins" from derailing your project
