Anti-Racist Leadership

More about the book

Building anti-racist companies by design creates great workplaces for everyone. Business leaders eager to improve conditions for employees, consumers, and the community should engage with this book. It is explicitly anti-racist, affirming that Black Lives Matter, LGBTQIA rights are human rights, and all individuals deserve respect and access, regardless of ability or gender identity. Acknowledging that capitalism is rooted in systemic racism, the book emphasizes the significant role business leaders play in shaping a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment. It serves as a comprehensive guide for those committed to implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and fostering an anti-racist culture. Transformational leader James D. White, with 30 years of experience in corporate America, shares insights from his tenure as CEO and Chairman of Jamba Juice, where he transformed the company into a model of performance grounded in a diverse, anti-racist culture. Drawing on experiences from other DEI leaders, the book provides practical lessons and real-world examples, empowering leaders to address the pressing question of what actions they can take. This is a crucial resource for those ready to make meaningful change.
