Jones C: Excelling In a Biased Society

Excelling In a Biased Society

Overcoming Bias and Breaking Barriers in the IT Industry

From James B. Stewart, the New York Times bestselling co-author of Unscripted and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, a deeply reported investigation into Harvard University, what happened when the Trump administration declared war on it, and the epic battle between the old guard and new money for control over a fabled institution Harvard University, a symbol of excellence and prestige for nearly 400 years, has been under attack. The assault, by no means limited to the right-wing attacks on DEI, or the lawsuits brought by the Trump administration over billions of dollars in Federal funding, has exposed deep fault lines within academia and American society at large. The Harvard presidency is arguably the most powerful and influential position in academia, not least because it comes with huge sway over the university’s vast $68 billion endowment. Beginning with the controversial tenure of Lawrence Summers as president of Harvard, James Stewart goes behind the scenes with power brokers and students alike to reveal how Summers’s abrupt departure set the stage for a progressive backlash when Drew Faust was hired as his replacement, and for the choice of Claudine Gay as the university’s first Black president. After Hamas attacked Israel, Republican Congresswoman and Harvard graduate Elise Stefanik led a Congressional inquiry into antisemitism on campus. As the controversy intensified, Gay was accused of plagiarism and forced to resign. But these events were only the preamble to the multiple lawsuits the second Trump administration would file against Harvard in the years to come, forcing Harvard into the impossible position of trying to defend academic freedom at the risk of losing crucial funding. A propulsive, character-driven narrative, replete with bold-faced names, combining deep investigative reporting and breaking news, this will be the definitive account of an institution on the brink. Using Harvard as the prism, Stewart confronts some of the most entrenched and sensitive fault lines of our polarized age, as the countervailing forces of meritocracy, elitism, identity politics, and tradition bear down on higher education from all sides. At stake is not only the future of Harvard, America’s preeminent university, but the very idea of education itself, and the unending struggle for the soul of the nation.

The Harvard presidency is arguably the most powerful and influential position in academia, not least because it comes with huge sway over the university’s vast $57 billion endowment. Beginning with the controversial tenure of Lawrence Summers as president of Harvard, James Stewart goes behind the scenes with power brokers and students alike to reveal how Summers’s abrupt departure set the stage for a progressive backlash when Drew Faust was hired as his replacement, and for the highly symbolic choice of Claudine Gay as the university’s first Black president. After Hamas attacked Israel, Republican Congresswoman and Harvard graduate Elise Stefanik led a Congressional inquiry into antisemitism on campus.

The War for Harvard and the Future of Higher Education

Ivory Tower

Look Inward. Lead Outward

The Leadership Mirror

In I Did Everything Right So Why Am I Still Struggling?, Michael J. Henderson exposes the often-hidden realities behind the American dream. With deep personal insight, Henderson shares his journey and the lessons learned from doing everything that society promises will lead to success working hard, studying diligently, and following the rules only to face continued struggles.

This compelling book is a critical examination of the economic systems that shape our lives. Henderson argues that hard work alone does not guarantee success, and that the structures we rely on are rigged against the very people who contribute the most. Through an exploration of debt, opportunity, meritocracy, and class, Henderson demonstrates that the true barriers to success are systemic, not personal failures.

I Did Everything Right So Why Am I Still Struggling? is more than just a memoir it is a powerful social critique that challenges readers to rethink the promises they were taught about success. It is an invitation to stop internalizing failure and start understanding the forces at play. Henderson calls for a shift in perspective, urging readers to recognize the difference between individual effort and structural inequality.

This book is essential reading for anyone questioning why the rules they've followed for success seem to fail them, and for those seeking to understand the broader forces shaping their lives. It's a thought-provoking exploration of what happens when the American dream doesn't deliver-and how to reclaim your power in a system that doesn't reward effort equally.

I Did Everything Right So Why Am I Still Struggling?

Palgrave Studies in Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenization in Business

Though there has been an exponential increase in interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), particularly as it relates to workplace environments and higher education teaching, recently, there has been a wave of DEI resistance posing challenges for leaders and educators alike. This two-volume set offers theoretical and practical knowledge about how to effectively implement DEI in organizations and into management curriculum.

Volume 1 focuses on the challenges of managing DEI in organizations, such as creating effective and legally defensible DEI policies and practices, maintaining positive DEI organizational climates, and leveraging identities to create synergies and competitive advantages.The book covers topics ranging from the effectiveness of DEI training and programs, impostorization, DEI coaching, and leadership considerations with respect to DEI and remote work. Creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace requires a long-term commitment and a cultural shift that can be challenging to achieve. This book offers researchers and practitioners evidence-based research and strategies for developing and implementing effective DEI policies, practices, and programs.

Championing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Volume 1

Get clear on what critical race theory is Critical race theory has become one of the most talked-about and misunderstood topics in America. Much of what you hear about it has little to do with the actual academic framework. Critical Race Theory For Dummies cuts through the political noise and explains CRT in an accessible manner - as a field of study, not a political stance - so you can engage in informed conversations wherever they happen. This easy-to-read guide walks you through CRT's origins in legal scholarship, its core principles, and how those ideas connect to real-world systems affecting wealth, health, education, and justice. You'll get a framework for applying basic CRT concepts in everyday life and learn why these conversations matter now more than ever. Inside: <ul> <li>Learn how CRT emerged in the 1970s and 1980s through the work of pioneering legal scholars such as Derrick Bell and Kimberlé W. Crenshaw.</li> <li>Explore the ways race has been embedded in American legal systems, institutional policies, and social structures over time</li> <li>Discover practical frameworks for understanding persistent racial gaps in wealth, health outcomes, education, and criminal justice</li> <li>Find clear and accessible explanations that separate CRT's actual academic principles from widespread political mischaracterizations</li> <li>Build confidence to discuss race and systemic inequality at the dinner table, in the classroom, or at work</li> </ul> Whether you're a student, educator, HR professional, policy maker, or simply a curious learner looking to understand what CRT proposes, this Dummies guide gives you the clarity and context you need. Time to join the conversation.

Critical Race Theory For Dummies

Leadership and communication are taught as two different skills - often in two workshops, sometimes bought from two vendors who've never spoken. They're not two skills. They're one discipline, and missing that is quietly expensive in almost every organization.

THE LEADER EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS is a practical playbook built on two frameworks:
THE FOUR C'S OF LEADERSHIP - Chart the Course, Choose Wisely, Champion the Team, Cultivate the Culture
THE APEX COMMUNICATION MODEL - Audience, Purpose, Evidence, eXpression

A leader who can't communicate isn't a leader in any way that matters - the authority may be real, but if the team can't tell what she wants, nothing moves. This book insists on both, because that's how the problem shows up at work.

Built for new managers, executives, corporate trainers, and government leaders alike, each chapter pairs the core idea with real-world cases, common pitfalls, a practical tool, and hands-on exercises.

Twelve chapters. Ten appendices. Written by Michael K Bender, drawing on a career as an international marketing executive and Foreign Commercial Officer.
The habits that separate leaders who get understood from the ones who don't are specific and learnable. This book teaches them.

THE LEADER EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS

The Career Capital Operating System

Your Experience Is Not An Asset

The transformative guide to workplace dynamics that helps you understand yourself - and handle those around you. Is your boss acting like a critical parent? Does a closed-door meeting leave you consumed by paranoia? Are you compelled to overperform until you're on the verge of burnout? You are not alone. We spend a third of our lives at work, yet we're told to leave our emotions at the door. In We Are Not a Family, psychotherapist Elisa Morris and executive coach Nell Montgomery show us the reality: we don't just bring our work experience to the office; we bring our entire emotional history. In this groundbreaking book, the authors identify eight workplace personalities - from the Joker who entertains to hide deep insecurities and the Perfectionist driven by their inner criticism, to the Gladiator who seeks success at any cost. They show how understanding these patterns can transform every interaction in your professional life. You'll learn how to:<ul><li>Identify your own personality and understand how it was formed in childhood</li><li>Build stronger relationships by seeing colleagues for who they really are</li><li>Improve leadership skills by recognising unconscious patterns playing out in your team</li><li>Handle difficult situations confidently without being overwhelmed by triggered feelings</li></ul> Packed with clinical insight, wit and a practical toolkit for every personality, We Are Not a Family will liberate you from outdated coping strategies and help you show up as the authentic, confident professional you long to become.

The 8 Personalities at Work and How to Navigate Them

We Are Not a Family

Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft brauchen Diversity - Vielfalt, Teilhabe und Chancengleichheit. Sie stärkt Fairness, Innovation und Produktivität. Seit ihrem Amtsantritt aber attackiert die US-Regierung gezielt die Diversity-Förderung in der Arbeitswelt und nimmt dabei vor allem die queere Community ins Visier. Damit greift sie nicht nur Eckpfeiler friedlichen demokratischen Miteinanders an, sondern ebenfalls die Basis für ökonomischen Erfolg.Der Ökonom, LGBTQ+-Forscher und Autor Jens Schadendorf analysiert in seinem neuen Buch die Anti-Diversity- und Anti-Queer-Entwicklungen in den USA und ihre auch für uns einschneidenden Folgen. Zugleich macht er Mut: Anhand von anschaulichen Beispielen zeigt er, wie vor allem europäische Unternehmen und Nonprofitorganisationen - darunter Stiftungen und Vereine - bereits entschlossen und kreativ reagieren. Sieben Anregungen in einer 'Anleitung für gutes Handeln' verdeutlichen abschließend, wie Vielfalt als wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Erfolgsfaktor gesichert und weiterentwickelt werden kann.

Der bedrohte Regenbogen

You've been told your ADHD is a problem to manage. Medication, systems, therapy, planners with color-coded tabs you abandoned by Wednesday. Productivity gurus selling you morning routines designed by people who've never lost forty-five minutes staring at a cursor because the office was too loud and the deadline was tomorrow. Nobody told you the truth: the same brain making it hard to sit through a budget meeting is the reason you spotted a market opportunity three competitors missed entirely.

The ADHD Marketer is for the marketing professional who thinks in seventeen directions at once, hyperfocuses on a campaign until it's brilliant, then forgets to send the invoice. It is not a book about coping. It is a book about competing (and winning) with the brain you actually have.

Richard Lowe didn't learn marketing in a classroom. He learned it the hard way, building a freelance writing career and a publishing business that now spans more than 100 books, while figuring out how to stop losing clients to disorganization and start closing them with ideas nobody else was generating. He is not a therapist or a psychologist. He is a guy with ADHD who had to figure out how to market himself, his services, and his work. He kept detailed notes on what actually worked.

This book is that education, compressed into short, direct chapters you can read in one sitting and apply the same day. You'll learn how to set up a workspace that works with your attention span instead of fighting it. How to turn hyperfocus into a billable asset. How to pitch clients when your brain won't stop generating tangents and how to close them when it finally lands on the right one. How to manage deadlines without white-knuckling through every hour. How to handle the clients who drain you and build relationships with the ones who don't. How to take your career from survival mode to something that actually fits who you are.

The book covers freelance, agency, and in-house marketing roles. It covers the practical: workspace, time management, client communication, career development, without padding it with theory that sounds good and does nothing. Every strategy is field-tested. There is no psychobabble, no advice recycled from neurotypical productivity books with an ADHD sticker slapped on the cover, and no suggestion that the goal is to fix yourself.

You do not need to be fixed. You need a different approach. That is what this book delivers.

If your brain works differently, your marketing career doesn't have to suffer for it. It can be better because of it.

Turn Your Neurodiverse Mind into a Marketing Superpower

The ADHD Marketer

A Human History of Thirst

The Search for Water

This book—the first to treat workplace culture like a garden instead of a construction project—offers the proven framework that transforms toxic environments into thriving ecosystems where all talent flourishes. Organizations fail when they treat culture like a construction project. But they thrive when they treat it like a garden, cultivating conditions for growth rather than engineering behavior through rigid blueprints. Award-winning consultant Abi Adamson introduces the SERN framework—Soil, Exposure, Roots, Nourishment—to guide leaders toward sustainable cultural transformation. Through compelling stories from her work redesigning cultures at Spotify, Sony Music, and the Gates Foundation, Adamson shows how to make the following positive changes: <ul><li>Detoxify organizational foundations</li><li>Ensure that diverse perspectives get real influence</li><li>Create authentic belonging</li><li>Distribute resources equitably</li></ul> Organizations using this approach report dramatic improvements in psychological safety, authentic engagement, and the ability to retain diverse talent pools. Unlike traditional culture initiatives focused on compliance and conformity, this framework helps leaders identify toxic environmental conditions, move beyond demographic headcounts to actual inclusion, enable people to contribute authentically, and recognize that equal treatment in unequal systems produces unequal outcomes. Set during a pivotal moment when workplace culture programs are being dismantled or reimagined, this practical guide offers leaders a sustainable alternative—treating culture as a living ecosystem that requires ongoing cultivation rather than a one-time structural fix.

This book, the first to treat workplace culture like a garden instead of a construction project, offers a proven framework that transforms toxic environments into thriving ecosystems where all talent flourishes. Organizations fail when they treat culture like a construction project. They thrive when they treat it like a garden, cultivating conditions for growth rather than engineering behavior through rigid blueprints. Award-winning consultant Abi Adamson introduces the SERN™ framework (Soil, Exposure, Roots, Nutrients) to guide sustainable cultural transformation. Drawing from her experience working with international clients, including Spotify, Sony Music, and Match Group, Abi shows how to do the following: <ul><li>Identify and detoxify the soil poisoning organizational foundations</li><li>Expose who's hoarding the light while others wither in shadows</li><li>Strengthen the root networks where real culture actually lives</li><li>Distribute the nutrients people actually need to thrive (hint: it's not pizza Fridays)</li></ul> Unlike traditional culture initiatives, focused on compliance and conformity, this framework reveals why expensive transformation efforts keep failing and how to spot "nutrient vampires" draining your best people. For C-suite leaders, executives, people managers, and anyone who has ever felt invisible at work, this guide offers a sustainable alternative: treating culture as a living ecosystem requiring ongoing cultivation, not a one-time fix. Because as Abi says, "We bloom together or we wilt alone."™
