About the Book:
Are professional organizations that publicly support equity and inclusive workplaces driving real, systemic change, or just using minorities to virtue signal while upholding the status quo?
While the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion have become de rigueur topics in HR circles, women and minorities remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles. Leadership is a Responsibility explores equity in the workplace and best practices for inclusive leadership by recounting the stories of women in corporate America and the career journey of Dr. Marisol Capellan in academia. As a Black Hispanic woman working at an institution that publicly prostrated to the social justice agenda while privately protecting the status quo, Capellan examines the shortcomings of the DE&I movement and provides a prescription for leaders who are ready to take action and create systemic change. Leadership Is A Responsibility discusses how toxic leadership, performative allyship, and the intersection of identities (such as privilege, oppression, race, ethnicity, and gender) all impact our lives at work and throughout society.
If you are an ascending or established leader with the mission to create an inclusive, high-performance, and healthy work environment, adopting the principles of Leadership is a Responsibility will make your leadership approach transformational for generations to come.
