Organizational strategist and diversity, equity, and inclusion expert Lily Zheng introduces a fresh, outcomes-driven approach for creating workplaces where everyone can thrive. 

Using decades of research, historical case studies, and real-world consulting across industries, Zheng breaks down why so many diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts stall and offers a clear path toward system-level change that genuinely improves people’s experiences at work. 

Zheng outlines four practical tenets that help organizations:

  • focus on measurable outcomes rather than good intentions
  • reinforce systems and structures that drive fairness
  • build coalitions that engage people across roles and perspectives
  • shift away from zero-sum thinking toward solutions that benefit everyone


Whether you’re new to diversity, equity, and inclusion work or leading organizational strategy, this book delivers the clarity and tools you need to build meaningful, measurable progress—including insights on how to navigate backlash, strengthen trust, and create cultures that prioritize access, representation, and shared success.
