Not Your Father's Capitalism - What Race Equity Asks of US Business Leaders

Adriane Johnson-Williams

Summary

EVER SINCE THE UPRISINGS OF 2020, consumers and employees alike have demanded more accountability from US business leaders. As a leadership coach, author Dr. Adriane Johnson - Williams noted the increasing volume of demands but saw no guidance out in the world that makes the work of organizational change for equity clear. That’s when she decided to write this book.The author simply asks this of you: Give her — this book, its calendar, activities, and additional provided resources included — 90 days. Spend this time with her and she’ll challenge you to examine who you are as a leader and a person. You’ll look at how you value others, how you are a reflection on your organization, and how to discover how you want to be reflected in the world.In Not Your Father’s Capitalism, Johnson - Williams distinguishes diversity and inclusion from equity and shows readers how to build a diverse team and inclusive culture — and what it really means to commit (or not) to race equity.

Summary of Atomic Habits by...

Francis Thomas

A Complete Summary of Atomic Habits
Hired as the performance director of professional cycling for England in 2003, Dave Brailsford had his work cut out for him. For the previous century, British cyclists performed terribly, winning only one gold medal and never winning the Tour de France.Brailsford had a plan to turn around British cycling. He called his strategy ‚ the aggregation of marginal gains. This involves deconstructing every aspect of riding a bike, and then consistently improving each aspect by 1%. Over time, these small changes compound into incredible performance outcomes. Brailsford implemented hundreds of small improvements, both obvious (e.g. equipping better bike seats) and non-obvious (finding the best pillow and mattress so the cyclists had optimal sleep). The results were extreme. British cyclists won 66 Olympic/Paralympic gold medals, 5 Tour de France races, and set numerous world records in the decade after Brailsford began.The image to the right shows the results of both improving and regressing by 1% every day. Over the course of a week the changes are small, but over the course of a year the changes are massive.Over a short period of time, the effects of compounding are barely noticeable. But over longer periods of time, compounding will generate very powerful outcomes.
