About this item
In this follow-up to her international bestseller How Women Rise, Sally Helgesen draws on three decades of work with executives and aspiring leaders around the world to offer practical ways to build more inclusive relationships, teams, and workplaces. Participants at leadership conferences often tell Sally, "Please don't spend your time telling us why developing and retaining a diverse workforce is important. We get it. The problem is, we don't know how to do it." Rising Together provides that missing how in full detail by identifying both what holds us back and specific tactics that can help us move forward.. First, Sally identifies the eight common triggers most likely to undermine our ability to collaborate across divides - not only of gender, but also of age, ethnicity, race, sexuality, and life experience.
