A must-read for every leader in their field. -- Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of To Sell is Human

Incivility is silently chipping away at people, organizations, and our economy. Slights, insensitivities, and rude behaviors can cut deeply. Moreover, incivility hijacks focus. Even if people want to perform well, they can't. Customers too are less likely to buy from a company with an employee who is perceived as rude. Ultimately, incivility cuts the bottom line.

In Mastering Civility, Christine Porath shows how people can enhance their influence and effectiveness with civility. Combining scientific research with fascinating evidence from popular culture and fields such as neuroscience, medicine, and psychology, this book provides managers and employers with a much-needed wake-up call, while also reminding them of what they can do right now to improve the quality of their workplaces.

Don't Just Network, Needwork:

Master Human Connections Effortlessly!

In this age of technology overload and Follow Me culture, you can get lost in a sea of content and connections. The networking waters can be perilous and emotionally draining. So many of us are still doing it the hard way, making few connections that we rarely-if ever-use. But here's a game-changing truth: our lives (and careers) improve exponentially when we're giving to others.

In Stop Networking, Start Needworking, marketing veteran and author Dave Carberry shows us how much better networking can be when we take a needs-based approach to helping others and asking for help. Drawing on insights from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Dave shows us how to:

• prioritize kindness and connection.
• build a network of allies.
• attend the right events and have the right conversations.
• find fulfillment in giving to others.

We need others to help us fulfill our professional and personal needs. And we can help others do the same with Needworking.

Is your workplace truly diverse? In this gem amongst diversity, equity and inclusion books, Dr. Poornima Luthra challenges us to address the inequality in the 21st Century that exists by expanding the dimensions of diversity in the workplace we address; to define diversity in the workplace in a way that truly represents our whole diverse selves.



This book contains everything you need to develop a solid understanding of the various dimensions of diversity and the biases that arise from them. Poornima provides us with the tools needed to address our biases, have inclusive conversations and be an active ally of inclusion. Whether you are an individual employee, team manager, or CEO, Diversifying Diversity is your guide to active allyship in the workplace.


When you think of diversity, what comes to mind? Gender? Ethnicity? Age? Sexual orientation? How about physical abilities or neurodiversity? What about educational background, experiences, personality, beliefs, socio-economic background, ways of working or parenthood choices?


These are all dimensions of diversity that make up our diversity thumbprint. The questions we need to be asking ourselves are: are we seeing this level of diversity and inclusion in the workplace?, how do we make this a reality? and what does this inclusion in action look like?


Case studies from Maersk Tankers, Carlsberg Group, IKEA Retail, Telia Company, Be My Eyes, Project Access International, Stack Recruitment, and Kromann Reumert provide inspiration, and a blueprint for inclusion in the workplace.
