Women, Minorities, and Other Extraordinary People was such an informative read. It should be required to read when you take on a management or leadership role in an organization. Everyone talks about diversity and more so how to include it in the workplace but this book actually lays out clear action items so you can start implementing it.

This book is so timely and important in today's world. Very interesting and a must read! From someone who comes from a place with very little diversity, this is an important read for someone with my background to gain knowledge. The reason I read is to learn, and my eyes were definitely opened and I learned so much from this book.

This book should be required reading for every manager, supervisor, CEO, and business owners in the work environment in the world. They need to understand why women and minorities and others are pushed back, not promoted, ignored, the destructiveness of our society, and retaining good workers, not just the "white boys club." How do you diversity your work environment if you don't understand how a system that was created to keep people down if you don't understand how you as a manager was taught how to treat others. This book will give you some serious tools on the why you better get your work environment together and bring diversity or you will perish because there will be no one left to work for you.

Insightful, practical and timely.
This book explores both diversity and inclusion in a detailed way that invites you as the reader into the conversation. I take away one of the statements that the author makes that I couldn't shake off and it's There is a profound difference between diversity and inclusion, and trying to reach for one without the other shows only superficial commitment to change. I'm glad not just as a woman, but also as someone who is constantly working with young people from diverse backgrounds, that I got to read this book. Even though it was off NetGalley, I did get quite an awakening, especially on my biases
