Yes, if you set policies, shape systems, or make decisions that affect who gets opportunity, because that is exactly what the book asks leaders to examine.
In The Truth About Equity, Celeste Warren draws on 28 years at a Fortune 100 company to challenge leaders to look beyond good intentions. This CRW Diversitycatalog entry summarizes the book's argument, who it serves best, and where to buy it.
What if the problem isn't the people, but the systems surrounding them?
In The Truth About Equity, Celeste Warren challenges leaders to look beyond good intentions and examine how everyday policies, practices, systems, and decisions shape people's access to opportunity. It's a practical invitation to think differently about what fairness really requires and the role leaders play in creating it.
The argument grows out of a lesson Celeste Warren describes from nearly four decades in human resources and organizational leadership: organizations often focus on what individuals need to do differently. Those things matter. But leaders also have to ask what within the organization is helping people succeed, and what may be getting in their way.
Celeste Warren names five systems that shape workplace culture every day. Her work helps leaders examine both sides of the equation: how people lead and how organizations operate.
The companion Equity in Action Model turns this lens into six elements leaders can apply: Awareness, Access, Advocacy, Action, Accountability, and Empowerment.
