Synopsis

From Kim Scott, author of the revolutionary New York Times bestseller Radical Candor, comes Just Work – how we can recognize, attack and eliminate workplace injustice – and transform our careers and organizations in the process.

'Powerful and perceptive . . . belongs on the shelves – and in the hearts and minds – of leaders everywhere.' – Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of To Sell is Human

We – all of us – consistently exclude, underestimate and under-utilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it’s bad for business. Just Work is the solution.

In Just Work Kim Scott reveals a practical framework for both respecting everyone’s individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect.

From the Back Cover

‘Many books describe how to create a better workplace. What makes Just Work exceptionally interesting and valuable is that Kim Scott vividly describes specific situations: experiences she went through herself or saw happen to people around her; actions she did – or didn’t – take, both as an employee and as a boss and conversations she regrets having or not having. From lessons she learned the hard way, Kim Scott presents a practical framework for how to make work more just’

Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project

‘In debates over workplace inequality, we don’t talk enough about the ‘how’ – how to respond to a boss or co-worker who acts unfairly, how exactly that person should change their behaviour. Just Work helps answer the how. Kim Scott provides actionable, effective ways for fighting discrimination and harassment with engagement, collaboration and respect’

Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org
