About the Book

WINNER: CMI Management Book of the Year 2022 SHORTLISTED: Business Book Awards 2022 - Diversity, Inclusion & Equality category Good intentions are not enough - real diversity is about change. This book explains why it's our differences and how we combine them that creates true diversity and generates innovation, fresh thinking and ultimately, success. With clarity and wit, The Power of Difference brings together the author's own experiences with the latest research to explain why inclusion is more than just being nice to people, why unconscious bias training isn't the fix we need and why listening to all individual voices, not just assuming that one viewpoint represents a group, is key. Offering insight, analysis and practical solutions, The Power of Difference is a must read for all managers, leaders and HR professionals as well as anyone looking to engage with the topic, who doesn't know where to start. Exploring how to confront bias, question assumptions and avoid generalizations, this book illustrates why diversity should be part of the overall business strategy, not separate from it. It shows how for innovation and diversity to flourish, we must create spaces that are safe for disagreement, not from disagreement. Written in an engaging yet practical style, this book courageously tackles some of the most significant issues at work today.

Review :
"Simon Fanshawe has written the most compelling book on diversity I've ever read...beautifully written and full of narrative power, The Power of Difference weaves together the author's personal experiences, insights from research, and remarkable stories of others' journeys to show both how to build genuine inclusion and why it matters so very much in our multicultural world and to the success of organizations." "The Power of Difference is incredibly timely. Simon brings wit, wisdom, and challenge to pointing a way forward and how inclusion must embrace all voices. This is a call to action for every one of us to play our part in using our difference to power a better future for companies." "With insight, great stories and wonderful language, The Power of Difference helps all of us, managers, teachers, citizens, listen - truly listen -- so that we can redesign how we live and work, and discover the enjoyment of managing diversity along the way." "Diversity is the life-blood of innovation. What is often missing are the practical ways to create the culture for teams to thrive, where everyone has the confidence to contribute. This is an essential part of the environment for discovery, research and implementation to flourish safely. The Power of Difference provides managers and entrepreneurs with practical insights to drive innovation, while having the rigorous discussions that engage everyone's voice in assessing and taking risks." "The Power of Difference is wonderful, a remarkably enjoyable and immensely helpful read for any one in a leadership position or indeed anyone who feels the huge responsibility of improving the experience of their colleagues. The practical, but powerful, examples and illustrations peppered throughout the book contain the dilemmas and opportunities faced by a wide range of individuals and institutions. The golden thread was yes the complexity but also the huge potential that exists for individuals and organizations." "This book educates and also acknowledges the complexity that exists around grappling with some of the concepts and suggests practical ways through. I simply loved it and the way it was written." "Simon Fanshawe opens space to rethink diversity and inclusion efforts from first principle, I predict readers will find themselves in equally vehement agreement and disagreement with different parts of this work, but ultimately emerge feeling enriched by its many provocations."
