Based on author Susan E. Reed’s groundbreaking study of Fortune 100 companies, The Diversity Index provides a clear-eyed view of the current racial and gender barriers, and presents eye-opening accounts of executives at companies including General Electric, Hewlett Packard, Merck, and PepsiCo, showing how they succeeded as individuals, and then went on to successfully promote change from within. The book distills—into 10 clear steps—the methods the most successful companies have used to encourage integration…and translates it into greater organizational success.
Advance Praise for The Diversity Index:
“This book is an important, if not seminal work….Reed’s insights into who gets into the executive suite raise true and serious questions about the overall success of affirmative action in bringing the full diversity of the American population into corporations at all levels. They are questions that need to be answered by corporate and political leaders.”— Mike Deblieux, SPHR-CA, Principal Leadership Development Coach
“The Diversity Index provides a corrective to the scholarly research on race integration and still-relevant lessons for corporations that seek to do better at it.” — Barbara Reskin, S. Frank Miyamoto Professor of Sociology, University of Washington
“[A] thought-provoking and well researched book….While one can quarrel with some specifics of [Susan Reed’s] recommendations, without a doubt, this will be an important and valuable book in the field of diversity as practitioners look to go to the next level with their work.”— R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr., D.B.A., Chief Executive Officer, Roosevelt Thomas Consulting & Training, Inc. |
