In debates over workplace inequality, we don’t talk enough about the ‘how’ – how to respond to a boss or co-worker who acts unfairly, how exactly that person should change their behaviour. Just Work helps answer the how. Kim Scott provides actionable, effective ways for fighting discrimination and harassment with engagement, collaboration and respectSheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org
Scott’s experiences leading teams at Google and Apple led to this book, which espouses a workplace culture where leaders care deeply about their employees and challenge them to be their best selvesJeff Kinney, author of the bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, New York Times
Just Work left me optimistic that we can create just workplaces. Kim Scott carefully explains how bias, prejudice and bullying undermine all organizations--even those with the best of intentions?and provides an actionable system for countering each. Her acknowledgment that none of us?herself included?are free of this behavior marks an important starting point for a difficult but necessary conversation.Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, Harvard University
