Beyond Discomfort: Why inclusive leadership is so hard

by Nadia Nagamootoo

Talk to anyone about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and it sparks a whole range of emotions. Why? Because DEI, at its very core, is about values and beliefs, and it’s about change. So it is no surprise then, that despite putting in place a DEI strategy and multiple initiatives, so many organizations get stuck. Beyond Discomfort reveals a new model with four leadership belief systems and associated emotional responses to DEI. Nadia Nagamootoo is a Chartered Psychologist, accredited coach, MBA and Founder of Avenir, a DEI consultancy. Through her multiple keynotes and popular podcast show, Why Care?, Nadia has become a profound thought leader in DEI, guiding organizations on an accelerated path to creating inclusion and belonging.

Such an interesting take on matters diversity, equality and inclusion and I particularly found the questions for discomfort section the best of each chapter because it truly had me facing my biases and perception.
Got an eARC from Netgalley of this book.
