Drawing from over three decades of experience, former CEO of AT&T Business Anne Chow shares how to lead bigger by leveraging inclusion beyond DEI, to elevate your work, workforce, and workplace. For generations, when we've needed to innovate and grow, we've been told to "think bigger"--it's now time to Lead Bigger.
In a world that's become more interconnected yet polarized, inclusion has been overly politicized and narrowly defined to issues of gender and race. As a result, we need a new approach to inclusive leadership that goes beyond DEI, harnessing its power for innovation and growth. In Lead Bigger, Anne Chow reframes inclusion as the required leadership competency of expanding our perspectives for greater performance in our work, workforce, and workplace.
As former CEO of AT&T Business, she was the first woman of color to hold the position of CEO in the company's over one hundred and forty year history. Chow draws from her expertise in transforming organizations to teach you how to create a dynamic environment that engages everyone you and your company interact with--as well as those you wish to be connected to--while adapting to the ever-changing world. This book equips you with the necessary tools to expand your inclusive leadership skills, including prompts, tactics, and enriching insights from leadership visionaries General Stanley McChrystal, Arianna Huffington, and Adam Grant.
Chow illuminates a seismic shift in the business world, in which a more humanistic approach is required as technology upends work as we know it. If you're committed to advancing work that matters, engaging a dynamic workforce, and fostering an agile workplace, you're ready to Lead Bigger.
