Temple University Press,U.S. Going Global: Culture, Gender, and Authority in
Book SynopsisHow culture and gender become weapons in the evaluation of both Japanese and female employees at an American company in JapanTrade Review"Going Global is a thorough and interesting ethnographic study of a mainstream US organization in Japan, a context particularly well-suited for addressing the confluence of gender, culture, and authority issues that are its focus. The author's position as a bilingual insider with extensive access both to individuals and to organizational processes gives credibility to the descriptive accounts and confidence in the relevance of the findings. The specific organizational setting also strengthens Fuller's intended interdisciplinary appeal and highlights the rich insights and very real implications for those in similar organizations responsible to hire, develop, and assess managerial employees in foreign operations."—John A.

WW Norton & Co Indivisible: How to Forge Our Differences into a
Book Synopsis“Hamilton delivers guidance that has value beyond corporate offices; it is guidance for the business of living. Startling contrasts in lived experiences and shared anecdotes illuminate the importance of being indivisible (interdependent) versus inclusive ("you may join us") … This complex, challenging content is readily accessible and engaging due to Hamilton’s expertise and commitment. Indivisible carries a message of vital importance to the business community and beyond.”— Booklist, STARRED REVIEW Denise Hamilton has always believed in the power and promise of a word she learned as a schoolgirl: “indivisible.” In her groundbreaking debut, she challenges readers to move beyond current notions of diversity and inclusion to build communities, workplaces, and relationships that live up to that word. She urges us to reexamine long-held beliefs and habits and to dismantle hierarchies that shape our current society. If we want to repair the fraying stitches that bind us together, if we want to build a truly close-knit collective, we cannot settle for our present approach. It’s time to recalibrate and identify a goal higher than inclusivity—the goal of indivisibility. As a nationally recognized DEI leader, Hamilton shares accessible, personal stories and offers self-examination questions, intentional action steps, and journal prompts. While the book has a focus on business and leadership, the lessons within can transform our professional and personal lives.Trade Review"Inclusion strategist Hamilton delivers guidance that has value beyond corporate offices; it is guidance for the business of living. Startling contrasts in lived experiences and shared anecdotes illuminate the importance of being indivisible (interdependent) versus inclusive ("you may join us"). An example of the exploration and self-examination Hamilton encourages is the evolving use of language, specifically the increase in the use of gender-neutral terminology such as property owner instead of landlord or workforce rather than manpower. Each of the 17 chapters concludes with an “Ask Yourself” section for guided reflection. Much of this work focuses on going beyond informing, and prompts deep contemplation to “remove the shame of not knowing.” This complex, challenging content is readily accessible and engaging due to Hamilton’s expertise and commitment. Citing the need to be a courageous agent of change with certainty that change can happen as well as creativity and consistency, Hamilton delivers the truism that “this book is the beginning of the work, not the end.” Indivisible carries a message of vital importance to the business community and beyond. Highly recommended for all library collections, including those serving high-school students. A perspective-broadening resource for social and business studies." -- Booklist, STARRED REVIEW"In a world dominated by division, this book is a force for unity. Denise Hamilton never fails to make me stop and think—she’s a master of injecting complexity into oversimplified issues and shifting the diversity and inclusion conversation from outrage to insight. Indivisible is an extremely powerful, surprisingly practical read." -- Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and HIDDEN POTENTIAL, and host of the TED podcast Re:Thinking"This is a book you cannot miss. Denise Hamilton invites us into the next evolution of American society and arms us with the tools to be successful as we move into a more prosperous future. She replaces half measures with a bolder, broader vision. You feel her love and optimism in every word. She couples what to do with how to do it. This book is a must read." -- CNN’s Van Jones, author of Beyond the Messy Truth"Denise Hamilton’s Indivisible is a masterclass in creating powerful organizations where everyone has a sense of belonging. For anyone looking to build a stronger, more dynamic team that fosters innovation and growth, this is a must read." -- Eric Ries, best-selling author of The Lean Startup, chairman and cofounder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange"Indivisible is ultimately an optimistic book, based on the premise that we can all be leaders in making a more equitable world. Denise Hamilton’s stories, facts, and compelling observations remind us that, in order to move forward, we have to first decide not to stay where we are." -- Frances Frei, Harvard Business School professor and author of Move Fast and Fix Things"Indivisible, Denise Hamilton’s triumphant debut work, is an immediately actionable resource for creating the teams, companies, and country we all want." -- Alexandra Carter, best-selling author of Ask for More" Indivisible by Denise Hamilton is an insightful and timely exploration of the transformative power of unity in a world filled with division. With compelling narratives and practical strategies, Hamilton's book is a compelling call to action, demonstrating how embracing our differences can be the key to forging a more inclusive and resilient future for all." -- Kathryn Finney, investor and author of Wall Street Journal bestseller Build the Damn Thing: How to Start a Successful Business if You’re Not a Rich White Guy

NEWTYPE Publishing The Business of Honor: Restoring the Heart of
Book SynopsisHonor is the art of stewarding relationships well. Business is all about relationships, and every day at work presents us with a choice: Will we fight for fear-free connections with our team members, employees, vendors, and customers for the sake of our mutual success? Or will we default into self-protection and self-serving and participate in a relational culture of disconnection? This is the choice between honor and dishonor, and it flows from our hearts and our core beliefs about people. In The Business of Honor, Bob Hasson and Danny Silk lay out a pathway for living with a heart of honor in business, from receiving your identity to investing in healthy relationships and taking the lead in building honoring culture in your company or organization.
