Inclusify is a leadership guidebook for creating diverse yet cohesive teams. While many organizations make efforts to recruit unique perspectives, these companies often fail to harmonize differing voices. Stefanie Johnson offers team building tips for creating unique yet united teams. Inclusify presents practical teamwork and management strategies that empower individuals while rallying the group around a shared sense of purpose. This book is a recipe for high-performing, inventive teams whose members stand out but still feel like a part of the whole.

Notable Quote: “These types of interactions are often meaningless to the person doing the excluding, but across research studies, subtle and often unintentional jabs like mistaking someone as being in a lower status position or calling them by another person of color’s name (often called microaggressions) have the same effects as, if not worse effects than, blatant discrimination on outcomes such as job performance, turnover, and mental health.”
