A sweeping leadership framework to institute clear and intentional actions throughout your organization so that people of all racial backgrounds are empowered to lead, collaborate, and excel at work.

The Diversity Gap is a fearless, groundbreaking guide to help leaders at every level shatter the barriers that are causing diversity efforts to fail.

Combining real-world research with honest first-person experiences, racial justice facilitator Bethaney Wilkinson provides leaders a replicable structure to foster a diverse culture of belonging within your organization.

With illuminating and challenging insights throughout, you will:

  • Better understand today's racial climate and its negative impact on your organization and team;
  • Be equipped to shift your organizational culture from one that has good intentions for "diversity" to one that addresses systemic barriers to all employees thriving at work; and
  • Be emboldened to participate in creating an organizational culture where people from various racial backgrounds are growing in their purpose, making their highest contributions, and collaborating effectively towards greater impact at work and in the world.
  • Ultimately, The Diversity Gap is the quantum shift between well-intentioned organizational diversity programs that do little to move the needle and a lasting culture of equity and belonging that can transform your organization and outpace your industry.

    Accompanying figures, tables, and appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

        In this guide, Wilkinson, founder of the Diversity Gap Academy, addresses why and how organizational diversity efforts and programs become stagnant or fail to transform organizations. In each chapter, Wilkinson offers an insight based on instances where diversity efforts have not worked. These insights include adjusting strategies in addressing racism and white supremacy; examining the impact of organizational culture on people of color; embracing and pursuing diversity in one's personal life; and being intentional and vulnerable in creating a sense of belonging with and for one's colleagues. Filled with stories, questions, diagrams, and resources for readers to process and explore, the guide can be consulted as a resource on organizational development. Wilkinson clearly distills complex topics and shares her own reflections and experiences as a racial justice facilitator. Readers interested in organizational development and workplace cultures--particularly regarding issues diversity, equity, and inclusion--will find this book to be resourceful, impactful, and helpful in framing one's perspective.
