From the first page of this book, I was engaged, my curiosity about the topic was piqued, and I quickly began to evaluate my own practice. This book is a lively and progressive take that reflects Sile’s expertise and knowledge in this subject area. It made me think. It challenged me and offered me perspectives I had not previously considered. It does not show you how to tick the box regarding inclusion and diversity, instead it encourages thoughtful reflection, planning, application, and evaluation for meaningful and sustainable progress. Sile highlights the link between effective inclusive leadership and positive organisational performance. The examples are relevant and delivered with Sile’s sense of humour, which helps the reader to realise that the journey to effective inclusive leadership is challenging, yet the reward is immense for all.
