Diversity and Inclusion for Leaders by Raj Tulsani, reviewed

By Simon Cocking, review of Diversity and Inclusion for Leaders by Raj Tulsani, available here.

Be prepared for every organisational landmine and PR trap by becoming more trusted – and trusting yourself to lead in diversity and inclusion. This insightful and action-oriented book from the Diversity Headhunter is everything you need to understand, master and profit from diversity and inclusion. Raj Tulsiani distils his experience of placing diverse people in leading roles and guides you through the maze of terminology, techniques and trends which shape the diversity landscape in the 21st century.

Packed with original perspectives from Raj and many of the UK’s most distinguished and controversial advocates, this book will boost your diversity confidence by showing you how to: – turn brand pressure into brand opportunity – recognise and manage negativity through the prism of data, empathy and authenticity – design short term wins that build advocacy for longer term strategies – raise your organisation’s capability, credibility and cognitive diversity quotient – tackle emerging issues before they become major challenges – build trust in your leadership and your organisation’s promises.

Diversity and Inclusion for Leaders by Raj Tulsani, reviewed

In some ways you might think this is a no brainer, of course diversity and inclusion are a financially smart way to operate. And yet, and yet, yes there was still value in writing a book on this subject, because too many organisations have still yet to embrace this concept. Maybe it is because management is lazy, too many people from the same social group and the same gender. Or perhaps their profit margin was good enough that they didn’t need to examine it too deeply?

Raj Tulsani writes well and takes us through a well reasoned examination of the various ways in which D&I (diversity and inclusion) are logical and financially beneficial targets to aim to excel in. His breakdown is logical, thorough and compelling. Perhaps in times to come this will all be hardwired into how we operate. For now therefore there is still a value in articulating why these things are worth doing. However you do wonder if, like #metoo, if you even have to explain to people why this is worth doing, perhaps it is better to let them go the way of the dinosaurs?
