• Business leaders across the US are having frank conversations about diversity in the workplace. 
  • Here are several titles every executive should know about, including “Inclusify” and “The Memo.”  

Since the summer of 2020, when George Floyd‘s death awoke the nation’s business leaders to racial inequity, more companies have been promising new diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Part of that work includes leading employees in a way that promotes Black and brown voices. 

One way executives and managers can educate themselves on creating inclusive company cultures is by reading. Thankfully, there is no shortage of compelling books in this space. If you’re looking for a read that will make you a more effective leader, consider one of these titles.
