Laura Liswood speaks to the EDGEtalks audience about why success will only come from having a more diverse workspace, one where everyone works in a true meritocracy, and she introduces her latest book: The Elephant and the Mouse.
In The Elephant and the Mouse, Laura delivers a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of workplace diversity and offers new ideas for gaining the real benefits from your diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The Elephant and the Mouse refers to the dynamic within organizations that creates roadblocks to consciously inclusive success. The Elephant (the dominant groups) knows little about the experiences of the Mouse (the non-dominant groups), while the Mouse knows so much more about the Elephant.
