We want them as allies in challenging current power structures. This book shows how men can be a part of the change we want.' Dame Barbara Stocking, President, Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge 'As we tackle issues of sexism in the workplace, the majority of men who would never dream of acting inappropriately towards women need help to navigate the new world they find themselves in. This marvellous book is a self-help manual that explains the importance and the minefields of a diverse workforce in a way that is very easy to relate to. I recommend it to women as well. It explains a lot.' Professor Dame Wendy Hall DBE FRS FREng, Regius Professor of Computer Science, Executive Director, Web Science Institute, University of Southampton 'The Accidental Sexist is a portal to a necessary process of cultural change. Be in no doubt though, this has made me feel more than uncomfortable at times because certain behaviours, attitudes and beliefs are so ingrained (and aren't entirely wrong), but we simply must talk this through. I want to be an ally and not an accidental anything!' Air Vice-Marshal (Retired) Michael Harwood CB CBE 'This handbook is a great guide for leaders and managers who want to accelerate towards better performance, improved outcomes and happier teams. I found golden nuggets on every page.' Mark Freed, CEO, E2W 'Men: If you are confused, uncertain, hesitant or anxious about how to relate to new initiatives for greater gender equality in the workplace in these especially fraught times, this is the book for you! Simple practical advice on why being an ally to women and supporting gender equality will transform the workplace - and even improve your life!' Michael Kimmel, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies, Emeritus, Stony Brook University 'Much is written about diversity but a lot less about how men can play their part in equalising the playing field for women and minority voices. Having known of Gary's and Stephen's work over a number of years, I am delighted to see their learnings come together in a practical handbook which I would recommend to anyone looking to improve inclusion in their organisation.' Jacqueline de Rojas CBE, President, techUK 'The Accidental Sexist demonstrates how heightening the awareness of and harnessing the power of the majority to alter the negative experiences of minorities is the most effective way to eradicate discrimination. I respect and admire any man who leans into this conversation with a curious mind and an open heart.' Lynsey Campbell, Technology Leader and Gender Equality Activist, Chairperson, Scotland Women in Technology 'There are a lot of organisations now that are committed to greater diversity, have put in place targets and unconscious bias training, but are still struggling to see real progress in terms of gender equality. This is especially true at the executive level. There are many men in those organisations that would like to see that change, and what The Accidental Sexist highlights so powerfully is how those men can be the solution and not the problem. It is the most practical guide I have ever read as to how to engage men in this programme in a way that is positive, inclusive and impactful for both men and women.'
