While the words, "diversity," "equity," and "inclusion" are on the lips of more people than ever, durable, transformative change in many organizations remains elusive. Inequitable and unjust practices abound and "the old ways of doing things" are showing an unsurprising reluctance to fade into the past.

In The Equity Mindset, renowned researcher, attorney, and activist Ifeoma Ike delivers an impactful and moving discussion of what's working--and what's not working--in institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. In the book, you'll explore the dynamics of normalized institutional oppression, case studies of effective equity strategies that center communities historically marginalized, and ways to reexamine what we've been taught about work culture. It will arm you with best practices, powerful techniques, illuminating key performance indicators, and meaningful milestones for ongoing equity, culture and people goals.

An invitation to a nuanced way of looking at organizational culture, the author explains how and why everyone has a stake in making the market, and the world generally, a more equitable place. The Equity Mindset guides the reader through difficult conversations and strategies to address organizational bias, in-equity, and unsafe institutional environments. The Equity Mindset centers the expertise of leaders with intersectional realities, in a world where the perspective of voices of color, disabled persons and queer communities are stifled and undermined. An inspiring and eye-opening resource for managers, executives, board members, and other business leaders, The Equity Mindset will also benefit leaders across all industries and departments, including DEI and human resources professionals and consultants who seek to assist firms in their pursuit of transformative and equitable change.
