Those interested in maximizing contributions from employees at all levels and being part of an organization with real staying power should read this book. - James J. Dunne III, Senior Managing Principal, Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. Building on the principles of Ubuntu, a philosophical, social, and moral value system of deep human interconnectedness, this practical and thoughtful new book provides insights, best practices, and research-based evidence of the fundamental human need for inclusion and connection.

These stories portray compelling examples of what authentic inclusion looks like.
