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.

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

-- Booklist

It's about time someone tackled this thorny subject. Bravo! Many workplaces get tangled up or ignore the issues when dealing with bias and difference. Thank goodness for Kim Scott and her dose of candor, offering us not just the words, but the courage and compassion required to deal with conflicting points of view. Just Work holds our hands, kicks our butts and shows us how.

-- Beth Comstock, author, Imagine It Forward, and former Vice Chair, GE
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
