E-grāmata: Indivisible: How to Forge Our Differences into a Stronger Future

"Inclusion strategist Hamilton delivers guidance that has value beyond corporate offices; it is guidance for the business of living. Startling contrasts in lived experiences and shared anecdotes illuminate the importance of being indivisible (interdependent) versus inclusive ("you may join us"). An example of the exploration and self-examination Hamilton encourages is the evolving use of language, specifically the increase in the use of gender-neutral terminology such as property owner instead of landlord or workforce rather than manpower. Each of the 17 chapters concludes with an Ask Yourself section for guided reflection. Much of this work focuses on going beyond informing, and prompts deep contemplation to remove the shame of not knowing. This complex, challenging content is readily accessible and engaging due to Hamiltons expertise and commitment. Citing the need to be a courageous agent of change with certainty that change can happen as well as creativity and consistency, Hamilton delivers the truism that this book is the beginning of the work, not the end. Indivisible carries a message of vital importance to the business community and beyond. Highly recommended for all library collections, including those serving high-school students. A perspective-broadening resource for social and business studies." -- Booklist, STARRED REVIEW "In a world dominated by division, this book is a force for unity.
