Summary
This book offers five proven principles so multinational companies can advance diversity， equity， and inclusion with a nuanced understanding of local contexts across countries and cultures。
It's easy to fall into the trap of using a single-culture worldview when implementing global DEI in organizations。 But what makes DEI change efforts successful in one country may have opposite， unintended consequences in another。 How do companies find the right balance between anchoring their efforts locally while pushing for change that may disrupt existing power dynamics？
This is the question at the heart of global DEI work。 Along with practical advice and examples， Rohini Anand offers five overarching principles derived from her own experience leading global DEI transformation and interviews with more than sixty-five leaders to provide a through line for leading global DEI transformation in divergent cultures。
Local relevance—understanding markets and acknowledging local beliefs， regulations， and history—is essential for global success。 This groundbreaking book explicitly details how to take local histories， laws， and practices into account in DEI transformation work while promoting social justice worldwide。

It is must-have book for every leader who would like to foster an inclusive workplace。 Through her 5 key principles， Dr。 Rohini addressed everything from localizing efforts and aligning them to business goals， to the necessity of leadership transformation， establishing governance， and developing metrics and accountability。 She brought in her book a multilayered and transversal exploration of the diversity and inclusion principles: from Global to local， from leaders making changes to leaders maki It is must-have book for every leader who would like to foster an inclusive workplace。 Through her 5 key principles， Dr。 Rohini addressed everything from localizing efforts and aligning them to business goals， to the necessity of leadership transformation， establishing governance， and developing metrics and accountability。 She brought in her book a multilayered and transversal exploration of the diversity and inclusion principles: from Global to local， from leaders making changes to leaders making business too， from a deep， wide to inside out approach。 In few words， she took us in a journey of extensive and rich insights from the day she started her mission in Sodexo to the day she is advocating for an embedding change in our internal and external ecosystems。 - Dr。 Maya Rmeity， Research Consultant and D&I Advisor 。。。more

This book offers the necessary perspective for bringing DEI practice into the world's current global atmosphere。 The qualitative experience combined with the presented proprietary data is expertly distilled into applicable and actionable understandings， meant to create sustainable change within people and the organizations they run。 It approaches how diversity is perceived within different communities and how we are therefore perceived within each differing， yet equally true， paradigm。 Dr。 Anand This book offers the necessary perspective for bringing DEI practice into the world's current global atmosphere。 The qualitative experience combined with the presented proprietary data is expertly distilled into applicable and actionable understandings， meant to create sustainable change within people and the organizations they run。 It approaches how diversity is perceived within different communities and how we are therefore perceived within each differing， yet equally true， paradigm。 Dr。 Anand presents various， proven strategies for approaching DEI with methodologies authentic to the paradigm in which organizations exist and desire to operate。 A （delayed） special thanks to Dr。 Anand's team for providing an early copy of LGD。 。。。more

Dr。 Anand has presented an extremely well-researched and lucidly described framework and step-by-step approach for achieving diversity， equity and inclusion in a global organization。 It is a must-read for leaders at all levels of an organization who are committed to maximizing their organizational performance by implementing policies that are sensitive to local cultural factors rather than using a “one size fits all” approach。
