Book testimonials
If you’ve been wringing your hands or hiding your head in the sand about the issues of injustice in your workplace (yes, yours!), this is the book to read. You will learn how to recognize and eradicate the bias, bad behaviour and discrimination that is holding back your team and company from succeeding at the highest levels possible.ย
โ Sarah Kunst, Managing Director of Cleo Capital
Packed with stories from Scottโs career,ย Just Workย offers a solutions-focused perspective on #MeToo, acknowledging that gender injustice doesnโt exist in a vacuum and broadening the frame to consider diversity and inclusion writ large. Each of us has an important role in creating a fair and reasonable workplace. When we play that role and create the conditions for others to do the same, we can create real changeย today in the place where most of us spend most of our time–at work.
โ Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation
Justย Workย left me optimistic that weย canย create just workplaces. Kim Scott carefully explains how bias, prejudice and bullying undermine all organizations–even those with the best of intentions?and provides an actionable system for countering each. Her acknowledgment that none of us?herself included?are free of this behavior marks an important starting point for a difficult but necessary conversation.

In debates over workplace inequality, we donโt talk enough about the โhowโ โ how to respond to a boss or co-worker who acts unfairly, how exactly that person should change their behaviour.ย Just Work helps answer the how. Kim Scott provides actionable, effective ways for fighting discrimination and harassment with engagement, collaboration and respectย
