The lncluders

The 7 Traits of Culturally Savvy, Anti-Racist Leaders

By: Colette A.M. Phillips

Narrated by: Diana Blue

It's a simple fact that the people who make policy and oversee government, sports, business, and the arts and entertainment are most commonly white men. Another fact: We cannot achieve meaningful progress if we exclude the very people who have the power to make systemic change.

This handbook is free of any attempts to shame, blame, or guilt leaders for the choices they made in the past or privileges they were born with. Instead, listeners will learn to view the work they do through a racial equity lens so they can easily and immediately begin making changes.

In The Includers, Colette Phillips explores the core qualities that inclusive leaders share: character, cultural intelligence, connections, communications, collaboration, courage, and commitment. With humor and poignancy, and backed by research, Phillips shares stories of real Includers: the CEOs, politicians, and public figures—all white male allies—she's admired, known, and, in some cases, counseled.

For leaders who are ready to do their part, this eye-opening guide offers practical, actionable insights from allies and advocates who are willing to listen, learn, and "lead from behind" to create sustainable systemic change.

Superb How-To & Why Guide

I admit that I am an old friend and admirer of Colette and her work, and a long-time "includer" CEO. But I learned so much here! Had many insights. Will now be putting it on the must-read list, particularly for CEO's I advise. Excellent piece of writing and explaining. Concise. It will inspire not intimidate you. There is so much more I could have done. But Colette makes the excellent case for what any and all of us CAN do from here forward. Trish Karter
