'Amazing book: Clever, insightful, relevant, and actionable.' Dave Ulrich
If you find discussions of inequality painful, aggravating, exhausting, or even scary, it's time to explore the elephant.
Growing the Elephant is the story of Advantage - Earned and Unearned. Earned Advantage is the part of the Elephant we know. Work hard - get rewarded; form relationships - get opportunities. But while anyone can earn Advantage, some have more opportunity than others. That's the story of Unearned Advantage.
Unearned Advantage is the part of the Elephant we avoid. It is so hard to talk or even think about that those with it ignore or deny it while those without it are exhausted or incensed by it.
Growing the Elephant is for anyone working to increase innovation, performance, and inclusion by building practices and mindset to meet and stay with what's difficult. It is for leaders and contributors at any level and those who help them build and sustain diversity, equity and inclusion.
