Inequality lowers profits, stifles creativity, and causes high employee turnover. Companies struggle to find and retain talented women, and women who land top positions often feel alienated at work. Something has to change. Leaders need an entirely new way of thinking about gender equality. That’s what you’ll find in this book. The Dignity Mindset offers leaders an innovative, paradigm-shifting approach to facilitate gender equality. By adopting a Dignity Mindset, leaders can replace outdated belief systems with groundbreaking perspectives that recognize the common worth and needs of all employees. In The Dignity Mindset, veteran executive coach Susan Hodgkinson shows how gender-biased forces harm organizations. And her groundbreaking Dignity Mindset Toolkit provides a comprehensive roadmap that guides leaders in creating gender-balanced organizations wherein all employees—women and men—can contribute at their highest levels while maximizing business success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As epitomized in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, women in politics may hit a “glass ceiling” or in the case of former U.K. Prime Minister, Theresa May in 2019, go over a “glass cliff”. Even though women are starting to experience more success gaining offices at state and local levels, women’s participation in the political arena is still disproportionately low. This book explores current research findings, development practices, theory, and the lived experience to deliver provocative thinking that enhances leadership knowledge and improves leadership development of women around the world.

Book excerpt: "The Leader's Edge is a must read for aspiring entrepreneurs and executives. Susan Hodgkinson has done what most management consultants and scholars are unable to do. She has written a book consistent with the best research on impression management, social networks and executive development without the jargon. The Leader's Edge provides keen insights and actionable prescriptions for creating a personal brand. The 5 P's framework is the most useful I have found for analyzing and taking action to maximize how others will value your potential to contribute and be willing to invest in it. "Every aspiring professional of color needs to read this book. Susan Hodgkinson writes with sensitivity to the challenges racial minorities often face in large corporations. Her advice is part and parcel of the tools one needs to be liberated from the self-limiting and defensive approaches minorities often take to being undervalued in their places of work. This book is about power and taking control of one's own destiny." --David Thomas, Professor of Organization Behavior, Harvard Business School, and Author of Breaking Through, The Making of Minority Executives in Corporate America "Sue Hodgkinson is a brilliant executive coach and a vital partner to me in supporting some of my most important clients at Genzyme. Sue brings her successful approach forward in The Leader's Edge. She gets to the heart of the matter in a way that few others do, enabling leaders to envision and embark upon new pathways to personal excellence." --Joan Wood, Senior Vice President, Leadership and Organization Development, Genzyme Corporation "Every leader at every level needs to read this book." --Deborah Merrill-Sands, Former Dean, Simmons School of Management "Progressing to senior leadership requires a concerted series of adjustments in your leadership approach. This book helps you assess all the dimensions of how you lead, as well as the barriers you should anticipate as you ascend, and strategies for overcoming them. The personal brand framework is practical and following Hodgkinson's advice will bring quick, high impact results to your work." --James G. Connolly, Former President, Citizens Financial Group "With the clarity and passion of a true visionary, Sue Hodgkinson delivers a practical and potent approach to the phenomenon of 'personal branding.'" --Donna D'Cruz, Founder and CEO of Rasa Music

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your take-action guide to gender equity First, just to be clear: Leading While Female is not a book about how to get a leadership job. Nor is it about fixing or transforming women into male managers or mindsets. Instead, Arriaga, Stanley, and Lindsey’s bigger ambition is to help both women and men educational leaders confront and close the gender equity gap—a gap that currently denies highly qualified women and women of color opportunities to better serve our millions of public school students. Designed as both a personal and group discussion guide for taking action, Leading While Female draws on the research of feminism, intersectionality, educational leadership, and Cultural Proficiency to help us all: Better understand the impact of faux narratives that foster lack of confidence among girls and women Utilize the Tools of Cultural Proficiency to examine barriers to overcome and support functions to locate for your own career planning Learn from the stories of women leaders who have confronted and overcome barriers to career development, including women of color who were targets of implicit bias Explore and expand the roles and opportunities for our male colleagues to serve as allies, advocates, and mentors. If we look at the data, we can safely say women are doing the work of classroom teaching while disproportionately, men are making administrative and leadership decisions. Here at last is a resource for the breaking down the barriers and leading the way for future generations of women leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative and practical book helps leaders develop adaptive leadership mindsets and skills to address the myriad intersecting challenges shaping today’s workplace. Through the Flux 5 framework, organizational culture and systems experts Sharon Ravitch and Liza Herzog help leaders, teams, and organizations create the organizational conditions to drive and enact adaptive change. At a time of unprecedented workplace flux, leader roles are constantly being redefined, requiring more finely attuned leader mindsets, frames for leadership, and skillsets for moving the dial on individual and organizational sense-making for cultural and institutional excellence. Based on five mindsets – Inquiry Mindset, Humanizing Mindset, Systems Mindset, Entrepreneurial Mindset, and Equity Mindset – the Flux 5 framework teaches leaders to drive adaptive change as a tool of professional and organizational development. Using embedded leader learning activations and organizational practices, the book guides leaders to develop each mindset as they read. The book encourages leaders (and their organizations in diffusion effect) to cultivate a visionary and resonant leadership approach at the intersection of crisis leadership, professional and human development, systems thinking, entrepreneurial leadership, and organizational equity frameworks. Succinct, accessible, pragmatic, and inspiring, this useful guide will grab the interest of leaders, teams, and organizations across sectors, organizational types, and business contexts, and engage professors, students, and practitioners of leadership, management, organizational psychology, and organizational development.
