While the world doesn't always cooperate, it is a fact about the world that every one of the 7.8 billion (give or take) people in the world today deserves a voice and a chance to realize their dreams. We all deserve agency and the ability to influence our destinies. Empowerment for All , by the founder and director of Universal Product Development at Google, Annie Jean-Baptiste, is a ground-breaking new approach to innovation and change management for business professionals. This book goes beyond advice for executives and human resources practitioners, discussing how people at any level of experience or management can use their individual voices and experiences to help people in their organization actively and fully participate. Jean-Baptiste offers hands-on strategies for creating workplaces where everyone feels seen, validated, and uplifted. She shows you how to democratize the empowerment process and start a process of meaningful change that includes everyone. You'll find actionable insights and techniques that draw on the author's extensive expertise in tech, fashion, and design.

You'll also discover strategies for creating products and services that meet the needs of untapped markets and overlooked consumers. Empowerment for All demonstrates how to embrace your individuality--and recognize the uniqueness of others--to uncover the lived experiences that nurture empathy and supercharge human-centered design. The book provides a four-part framework for solving even the toughest of problems: identifying the issue and imagining possibilities, researching, creating and testing solutions, and sharing your findings with the world and noting the differences you've made. Perfect for executives, managers, founders, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders as well as individuals looking to make a difference, Empowerment for All is an essential roadmap to building inclusive teams, companies, and communities where everyone is given an opportunity to reach their full potential.
