        by Bobby Siu

        Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership uses a psychological, organizational, and cultural framework to help businesses integrate a more diverse presence in leadership. Looking carefully at how current leaders view the relationship between leadership and diverse groups, Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership examines topics, including recruitment, selection, performance evaluation, succession management, working conditions, and corporate culture, and how they impact hiring, promotion, and retention of diverse groups. Emphasizing the interlocking relationships between our thoughts and actions, this book stresses the importance of organizational review and self-reflection, the pivotal role of removing unconscious biases from the workplace and identifying the systemic biases embedded in many aspects of human resources management practices.

        The Behaviorally Informed Organization

        by Dilip Soman, Catherine Yeung

        Every organization is fundamentally in the business of behavior change. Whether it be a government trying to get business to comply with environmental regulation, a business trying to get its customers to be loyal to their products, or a financial advisor encouraging a client to start saving for retirement, behavior change is critical to organizational success. Despite its centrality to organizations, we do not have a good scientific framework for behavior change or a good understanding of how organizations can embed insights from behavioral science into their operations. To overcome this void, this book develops an overarching framework for using behavioral science. It shows how behavioral insights (BI) can be embedded in organizations to achieve better outcomes, improve the efficiency of processes, and maximize stakeholder engagement. This edited volume will provide an enterprise-wide strategic perspective of how governments, businesses, and other organizations have embedded BI into their operations. It is based on research by academics and practitioners from the Behaviourally Informed Organizations Partnership and will highlight ideas, pragmatic frameworks, and prescriptive outcomes, based on illustrative case studies. Featuring a foreword by Cass Sunstein, this book investigates key findings from BI, with an eye toward how it can be used to solve problems and seize opportunities in diverse organizations.
