This month’s book: Inclusify

by Stephanie K. Johnson 

Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong? 

The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to ‘inclusify.’ Unlike ‘diversifying’ or ‘including,’ inclusifying implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business.  

Join us at this month’s book club for a lively conversation with nonprofit leaders and fundraisers. We'll discuss what we've learned from the book and how we're applying it to our day-to-day lives. 

Here's a link to order the book.
