Fair Leadership: How to Overcome Unconscious Bias. Practical Advice for Leaders

Winner of the getAbstract International Business Award 2020: “An important, complex issue becomes tangible: ‘Fair Leadership’ provides no less than the necessary tools for sustainable companies – eloquent, knowledgeable and inspiring.” (German edition) The more diverse a team, the more important are social and cultural skills of managers. They must be aware of the way people interact with each other, be able to exert influence and - more than ever - be a role model for others. Veronika Hucke shows that this task is not as difficult as it seems. After reading her book, managers at all levels know: How unconscious bias and stereotypes can impact their behavior and judgement. How to avoid injustice and defuse micro-aggression. How to lead a heterogeneous team where everyone can be themselves. How to make the diversity of your team a collective strength. How to conduct difficult conversations also with people very different from oneself. How to remove barriers that stand in the way of shared success. Harvard Business Manager 02/2020: "The author makes it easy for managers, uses numerous examples to show what is at stake in many teams, and has a wealth of practical tips and tools aimed at a fair management style."
