We have already spent millions of dollars on diversity, equity, and inclusion work. What else do we need to do to make it work?
Drawing from her journey as an international student to more than 20 years of nursing, education, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial leadership experience, Lyna Nyamwaya shares Leading with Cultural Humility. When we lead with a cultural humility approach, instead of saying,
"I treat people how I like to be treated," we ask people how they would like to be treated, and then we treat them as such.
This avoids assumptions and focuses on meeting the needs of those we serve.
The 12 mistakes we make as leaders and the inclusive practices we can use to remedy them are not exhaustive. This book offers leaders a diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) resource to navigate real-life challenges, manage biases, improve communication, and cultivate cultures of belonging. By creating inclusive cultures, we will find equity, accountability, respect, fairness, and growth that make marginalized and minoritized people feel safe, secure, and supported. Whether you are a leader in the boardroom, classroom, breakout room, or any room, use these applicable practices to create a positive impact, save millions of dollars, and leave people feeling seen, heard, and valued.
