Jennifer Brown, WSJ best-selling author, Inclusion, Beyond Diversity, and How to be an Inclusive Leader
This book is an important catalyst to stimulate debate. It is also refreshing to see recognition of the need to include everyone including majority groups as well as minorities. Whether you are an engineer, a health and safety professional, an educator, or simply a concerned citizen, I believe you will find food for thought and ideas which resonate in “The SAFE Leader”.
