"The most important business book of the year" - Esquire There's
never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the
workplace. From gender pay gaps and the #MeToo movement to Black
Lives Matter, it seems that every organization has finally
recognised that lasting change needs to happen. Various studies
show that the most successful and productive senior management
teams are those which are truly diverse and eclectic. Yet there
remains only 8 female CEOs of FTSE 100 boards, and only 10 BAME
people working in leadership roles across companies in the FTSE
100. While there has been a clear shift in attitudes, actual
progress towards more inclusive workspaces has been excruciatingly
slow and, in some cases, has ground to a halt. Following extensive
research and interviews at over 200 international businesses,
Kathryn Jacob, Sue Unerman and Mark Edwards have discovered one
major problem that is holding back the move towards greater
diversity: why aren't the men getting involved? Most men are not
engaged with D&I initiatives in the workplace - at one extreme
they may be feeling actively hostile and threatened by the changing
cultural landscape. But others may be unmotivated to change -
recognising the abstract benefits of diversity but not realising
what's in it for them. The time for change is long past. Belonging
is the call to action we need today -the tool to turn the men in
power into allies as we battle discrimination, harassment, pay
gaps, and structural racism and patriarchy at every level of the
workplace. The lessons in this book will help us work together to
build a better workplace where everyone feels they belong.
Never mind the glass ceiling. In the workplace today there's a
glass wall. Men and women can see each other clearly through the
divide, but they don't speak the same language or have the same
expectations. And as a result, women and their careers are
suffering. With more women than ever in the workforce, but still
too few in the boardroom, now is the time to address the
assumptions and miscommunication holding women back. This book
gives women the tools they need to master any situation. Drawing on
Unerman and Jacob's own experience in male-dominated businesses, as
well as over a hundred interviews with both men and women, The
Glass Wall provides clear, smart and easy-to apply strategies for
success. From unlocking ambition and developing resilience to
nurturing creativity and getting noticed, these are the skills that
everyone needs to learn to help break down that wall and create
better workplaces for all.
