" Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership is not just a book that looks into the deepest crevasse of societal oppression; it takes the opportunity to explore the root causes, attitudes, and prejudices that undermine marginalized groups and lead to systemic disadvantages in the workplace. This book acts as a highly valuable guidepost for anyone interested in being part of a solution-oriented organization or those just looking to gain a better understanding of the impact of systemic oppression on marginalized communities. I strongly recommend that anyone who is compelled toward leadership, in a leadership role, or can act as an agent of change should be introduced to this text as the insights provided and the comprehensive overview shared paint a thorough picture of societal norms and leaves just enough a silver lining for the reader to believe that true corporate and societal change is possible." --Amanda Paul, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Leadership " Bobby Siu's thought-provoking book challenges the status quo, highlights the importance of deliberate, focused interventions, and provides practical approaches for leaders and HR professionals committed to transformational change and inclusive prosperity for all. The message is clear: while some progress has been made on the leadership diversity front, there is much work yet to be done. --Norma Tombari, Director, Norma Tombari Consulting "Despite all of the discussion around increasing diversity in leadership roles, the statistics clearly tell us we're not making enough progress. This in-depth resource helps us better understand the status quo and offers practical strategies for challenging it." --Paulette Senior, President and CEO, Canadian Women's Foundation " Opening Doors to Diversity in Leadership is a well-researched and engaging book that helps us understand the deeply rooted obstacles that women and other under-represented groups face in scaling the corporate ladder.

Including evidence-based but practical advice on how to drive change, this book pulls from research across disciplines, and examines forces at the cultural, organizational, and psychological levels that embed bias into our practices, attitudes and behaviours. A masterful combination of secondary and primary research provides a solid foundation for both researchers and practitioners in the equity, diversity, and inclusion field." --Wendy Cukier, Professor, Ted Rogers School of Management and Director, Diversity Institute, Ryerson University "You can't change what you don't know. Opening Doors for Diversity in Leadership is an evidence-informed playbook that can be used to guide an objective evaluation of HR processes and organizational systems that unknowingly embed systemic bias. A rich resource for business leaders and HR professionals." --Louise Taylor Green, CEO, Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA).
