Reviews
Quick and hard-hitting…a book I would recommend.
The strength of the first book – made even stronger
by the updating in the second edition – lies in
its no-nonsense, matter-of-fact dealing with the subject
in a pragmatic, action-oriented manner. It separates
fact from fiction and outlines practical action plans
for businesses that have to deal with reality, whether
they like it or not. – James D. Donaldson, Group
Vice President, Ford Motor Company
Practical…valuable. The fullest
and most balanced statement of the pros and cons of
dealing proactively, rather than reactively, with full
inclusion of sexual orientation and what we might do
to become more effective within our organizations. –
Gwen Houston, MS, VP of Diversity and Staffing, Campbell Soup Company |
