Authorship

Go from confused to ready to act with confidence.
From experienced strategist Lily Zheng comes a bold deconstruction of why traditional diversity programs fail and what it takes to create real change. DEI Deconstructed combines research and frontline experience to expose common pitfalls while offering a fresh framework for meaningful inclusion work.
Its companion workbook, Reconstructing DEI, provides practitioners with 40 practical exercises packed with tools and metrics to build capacity, expand a practitioner's toolkit, and progress the maturity of any diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy from surface-level to embedded, effective, and sustained.
