Through this book, you will learn that it requires you to lead with conviction, clarity, accountability, allyship and strength. It is not an easy ride. You will need to step up and even more leadership will be required of you when everybody comes with a different view. But what you stand to gain - the value you can create both in your people and in your business - is immense. This is important.” Foreword by Mette Louise Kaagaard, CEO of Microsoft Denmark & Iceland Bias is everywhere. While we cannot completely eliminate it, we can make efforts to become more aware of them, to work hard to block them, and to minimise the impact they have on our organisations and the people who work within them.
