Going ‘All-In’ on Diversity and Inclusion: The Law Firm Leader’s Playbook (Paperback)

Going All-In on Diversity & Inclusion: The Law Firm Leader’s Playbook is for law firm leaders who want to lead on inclusiveness to make diversity sustainable so the firm can realize all of the benefits of a diverse workforce.  Unlike traditional diversity efforts, inclusiveness initiatives require firm leaders to go “All-In,” meaning:

• a full commitment by leaders plus action to uncover hidden barriers to success (“My-In”),
• gaining the “Buy-In” of others in the firm, and
• making diversity and inclusion a part of the DNA of the organization through structural changes (“Tie-In").

This playbook for leaders inclues new tools for uncovering the hidden issues keeping law firms from making progress with respect to diversity.
