I was lucky to have spoken to the wonderful Sile Walsh nearly 2 years before her book was released, so had some ideas about her thoughts and perspectives - but I still wasn’t expecting the book to be about this!
I was expecting the book to list all of the different ways we can improve equality, diversity and inclusion practices in our workplaces across the 9 protected characteristics of the Equality Act, 2010 (UK). But it doesn’t. Instead, it goes right back to the definition of inclusion and describes, guides and supports you to ‘be’ inclusive every moment of every day. Instead of fixing the symptoms, it focuses more constructively on fixing the cause.
Early on in the book, Sile talks about authenticity and I was both delighted and relived to find someone else talking about authenticity the way I do. Authenticity with wild abandon is careless and potentially career limiting. Authenticity needs to be more thoughts through, considered and fundaments…
“I am suggesting that if you are using your values, morals and authenticity as an expectation of how others should be, you will have an issue in the workplace… Currently, I see an increase in the expectation of a workplace to meet every need a person may have. An idea that work is where I should be able to to be everything I am. However, that is not the case.”
As Dr Sarah Ratekins said in a recent podcast episode, that equality, diversity and inclusion has been getting a black eye of late, so I was pleased to read a book that stepped back from the ‘doing’ activities and focused on the ‘being’ activities that help to really shift an organisation from doing things on checkboxes to ‘being’ the kind of inclusive entity that makes a real difference to individuals.
I would encourage team and organisational leaders to read it to understand what inclusion is and how to be more inclusive, rather than simply doing inclusion to tick the box.

If you are someone who wants to understand what inclusive leadership is, and how to enact this in your organisation, I can recommend this book. Inclusion is much more nuanced, relational and enacted than I had thought. Although diversity, intersectionality, protected characteristics are explored this book clearly explains the differences between these concepts and legal frameworks, versus the enactment of inclusion and inclusive leadership.
There are lots of questions, reflective points and ideas to help you consider the relevance of these idea and actions to your own practice.
This book is not just for leaders and managers, I think anyone who is interested in organisational psychology, and how to work and navigate work life more effectively can access and get a lot from this book.

✅Check out ‘Inclusive Leadership: Navigating Organizational Complexity’ by @silewalsh1 !
Sile’s insights on leading diverse teams and navigating complex organizational challenges are both practical and inspiring.
🌟 Below are my key takeaway insights. Many more such in the book:
1. Inclusion invites us to work with those different from us across all spectrums of differences.
2. Inclusive leadership requires us to develop our emotional intelligence to engage with differences with more ease.
3. Inclusive leadership is about leveraging differences, not just accepting them but seeking them out.
🤝Recommend to all leaders and aspiring leaders out there!
