Why this book matters. How to rethink Leadership in Today's world. Leadership as we knew it has changed and Leaders must adjust to stay relevant. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), the decentralization of workplace infrastructures, the great resignation, and a new culture of public accountability have changed the where, how, and who of thought leadership within organizations and the media.

Smart leaders are adapting their strategies to this new environment.

It is a mistake to think that a single department, role, or function is the whole body responsible for policy, culture, and implementation of more often-than-not outdated policies and practices.

The world has become interdisciplinary. Social media holds us accountable to a greater good and, as a social construct, our values and behaviors have changed at lightspeed in the last 24 months. Leadership means being able to communicate using multiple media channels to a global audience.

Who is this book for? This book is a living and breathing example of an interdisciplinary approach to leadership of self and others, with a focus on and through a lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion in a modern self-directed world. The authors in this book are professionals in a variety of disciplines, but their shared knowledge speaks to anyone who is in or seeking to be in a leadership role. They share their stories and expertise with the reader in an open and honest way.
