She lives with her family in Silicon Valley. From Kim Scott, author of the revolutionary New York Times bestseller Radical Candor, comes Just Work--how we can recognize, attack, and eliminate workplace injustice--and transform our careers and organizations in the process.We--all of us--consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate, and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it's bad for business. Just Work is the solution. Just Work is Kim Scott's new book, revealing a practical framework for both respecting everyone's individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect. Urgent and actionable, this passionate manifesto will be a welcome addition to any leader's desk. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Just Work [is] presented with thoughtful clarity and sensitivity. ... Scott's advice is rooted firmly in common sense, with a nod to the realities of human nature." -- BooklistIf 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.
