The drive to reflect the rich diversity of our world in our organisations isn't inherently political - it's smart business. Yet, from the US to Europe and beyond, diversity and inclusion efforts are increasingly being caught in the crossfire of a culture war. As the backlash against 'DEI' grows, the very principles of fairness and dignity are being reframed as divisive. So how did we get here? And what can each of us do about it? While most of us are curious about diversity, and some would call ourselves allies, very few are skilled in inclusion. Instead, we double down on being nice and hope that will be enough. But this optimistic attitude may harm as much as help. The more we lean on our niceness, the more we tend to bypass the uncomfortable to avoid discord and the more likely we are to take an idle role. But there is no such thing as a passive ally. This book is for anyone who wants to dive into the complex task of supporting equality as the threat to an inclusive future becomes ever more urgent. Inside are tools to build confidence and capability, as well as practical guidance to help navigate complexity, challenge complacency and take meaningful action.
