 Don't Call People Out - Call Them In

We live in a call-out culture, says activist and scholar Loretta J. Ross. You're probably familiar with it: the public shaming and blaming, on social media and in real life, of people who may have done wrong and are being held accountable. In this bold, actionable talk, Ross gives us a toolkit for starting productive conversations instead of fights -- what she calls a "call-in culture" -- and shares strategies that help challenge wrongdoing while still creating space for growth, forgiveness and maybe even an unexpected friend. "Fighting hate should be fun," Ross says. "It's being a hater that sucks."

Illustrated by scenarios taken from real-life situations, this book offers concrete actions team members, leaders, and organizations can take to build and maintain a productive, collaborative, and innovative environment in which people do their best work individually and collectively.

At an organization with nearly 11,000 employees, it would be easy to imagine getting lost in the shuffle within South Florida-based Memorial Healthcare System. Through the health system's mentorship program, employees can shadow executives with the idea that the experience can allow participants to see how the system's long-term strategy is formed. In day-to-day operations, Broksch says department heads are allowed to manage without much intrusion from higher up the corporate chain, a style she believes has given leaders a sense of ownership and responsibility for how the company performs as a whole.

 What Should Inclusion Really Look Like In The Workplace?

Inclusion is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the act of including; the state of being included.” A straightforward definition that becomes more complicated upon implementation within organizations because of the different affinity groups that can exist and how to discover, fulfill, and include each affinity group's unique needs. It's important to recognize that an affinity group may constitute merely one individual or multiple individuals. Regardless of size, all groups merit active efforts of inclusion.
