Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast and Fair is the searing and brilliant book on eliminating workplace injustice, from Kim Scott the New York Times bestselling author of Radical Candor.
Kim Scott is the co-founder of an executive education firm and workplace comedy series, The Feedback Loop, based on her perennially bestselling book, Radical Candor: How to Get What You Want by Saying What You Mean. Kim was a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter and other tech companies. She was a member of the faculty at Apple University and before that led operations teams for AdSense, YouTube and DoubleClick at Google. Kim was a senior policy advisor at the FCC, managed a paediatric clinic in Kosovo, started a diamond-cutting factory in Moscow and was an analyst on the Soviet Companies Fund. She lives with her family in Silicon Valley.
In this powerful and perceptive book, Kim Scott offers a bold
vision – a workplace where respect and collaboration prevail over
domination and conformity. Just Work is a sparkling combination of
moral courage and practical solutions. It belongs on the shelves –
and in the hearts and minds – of leaders everywhere
*Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
When and Drive*
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*
Scott’s experiences leading teams at Google and Apple led to this
book, which espouses a workplace culture where leaders care deeply
about their employees and challenge them to be their best
selves
*New York Times*
Just Work left me optimistic that we can create just workplaces.
Kim Scott carefully explains how bias, prejudice and bullying
undermine all organizations--even those with the best of
intentions?and provides an actionable system for countering each.
Her acknowledgment that none of us?herself included?are free of
this behavior marks an important starting point for a difficult but
necessary conversation.
*Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor
and Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African
American Research, Harvard University*
Packed with stories from Scott’s career, Just Work offers a
solutions-focused perspective on #MeToo, acknowledging that gender
injustice doesn’t exist in a vacuum and broadening the frame to
consider diversity and inclusion writ large. Each of us has an
important role in creating a fair and reasonable workplace. When we
play that role and create the conditions for others to do the same,
we can create real change today in the place where most of us spend
most of our time--at work.
*Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation*
If you've been wringing your hands or hiding your head in the sand
about the issues of injustice in your workplace (yes, yours!), this
is the book to read. You will learn how to recognize and eradicate
the bias, bad behavior and discrimination that is holding back your
team and company from succeeding at the highest levels
possible.
*Sarah Kunst, Managing Director of Cleo Capital*
