The Conversation: How Talking Honestly About Racism Can Transform Individuals and Organizations
De (autor) Robert Livingstonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 04 Feb 2021
"A critical resource for those committed to combating bias and expanding inclusion and belonging."
-Brian Chesky, CEO of AirBnb
"An absolutely critical contribution to the much needed efforts to understand and combat racism in the corporate realm. Compulsory reading for all serious leaders and people who aspire to lead."
- Nels Abbey, author of Think Like A White Man
Racial equity is achievable. But the honest conversations we need to have to foster that change can be uncomfortable - and are all too often avoided.
Drawing together years of academic research from the fields of psychology, sociology, management, and behavioural economics, Robert Livingston has created the ultimate solutions-oriented guide for those who want to transform the social order, but are unsure of how to go about it. With clarity, wit and deep understanding, The Conversation aims to combat this uncertainty by increasing confidence, capacity, and commitment to engaging in racial dialogue.
In helping us to better understand how effective discussion is key to resolving the problem of racism in society and the workplace, The Conversation is an essential tool for uprooting entrenched biases and transforming well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions and measurable outcomes.

Recenzii
The
Conversation
is
an
extraordinarily
timely
book.
Just
as
companies
and
organizations
in
the
U.S.
and
around
the
world
are
focusing
anew
on
the
entrenched
bias
in
their
culture,
The
Conversation
comes
along
to
offer
a
path
forward.
Livingston
has
digested
his
authoritative
understanding
of
the
science
into
a
remarkably
approachable
volume,
one
that
is
animated
by
his
storytelling
and
voice
on
the
page.
The
Conversation
is
a
major
achievement,
one
that
is
poised
to
play
a
significant
role
in
improving
our
understanding
about
bias
and
addressing
systemic
racism
in
the
workplace
Social justice is a long game, and it has to start with awareness of the problem. Dr. Livingston's book, just like his live presentations, is one of the most compelling articulations of the problems of racism and discrimination that I have encountered. As I've seen in my work with organizations like Airbnb, when a company is prepared to do serious work, the results can be extraordinary. This wonderful book is the place to start. The Conversation manages to be both intellectually compelling and substantive while also being infused with warmth and humor, just like Robert. I highly recommend it
As a product and business innovator, I like to think about how to design globally and execute locally. This maxim is just as true when it comes to a company's culture. Candid conversations are among the best ways to dispel myths and false narratives around diversity that hold us back, but we needfactual information and a framework. The Conversation offers exactly that. This book should be required reading for leaders and all those who share the goal of a more equitable future
After devoting decades of his life working to end systemic racism, Livingston speaks not only with authority but with a refreshing optimism. The thousands of hours he has spent with community leaders across the country have shown that when conversations are candid and respectful, Americans can indeed come together
Systematic racism is a part of our past, sadly part of our present and will be part of our future if we don't educate ourselves on its realities. We all need to seek the truth and be willing to have the uncomfortable conversations necessary to transform ourselves and our organizations. Livingston's thoughtful and instructive book will help us all start these important conversations
Robert Livingston makes an absolutely critical contribution to the much needed efforts to understand and combat racism in the corporate realm. This is compulsory reading for all serious leaders and people who aspire to lead
A one-stop resource for anyone wanting to understand the causes and manifestations of racism, to examine their own biases - and know what works to advance racial equity at work
