Iris Bohnet
#3547 of 3,809 books · #115 in Business & Economics
Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Standard Chartered Business Book of the Year Award (2016).
What Works was a Financial Times Best Business Book of the Year and a Times Higher Education Book of the Week Best Business Book of the Year. Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back, and de-biasing people's minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. By de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts. Presenting research-based solutions, Iris Bohnet hands us the tools we need to move the needle in classrooms and boardrooms, in hiring and promotion, benefiting businesses, governments, and the lives of millions.
