Difference Makers reframes the debate about who can participate in a board directorship so that differences are not seen as negatives but as positives. Dr Nicky Howes and Alicia Curtis share their experience and research on how different points of view and different experiences can enhance problem-solving and spark innovation; it can build better boards and ultimately better organisations.
Through focusing on a diverse range of attributes (experiential, personal and demographic), readers are engaged to learn practical strategies in becoming more inclusive, innovative and constructive leaders. The authors have particular experience in recruiting, training and mentoring younger leaders in directorship position. This championing of next-generation directors is refreshing and original.
This book shares insights into how we can create a world-class civil society - one that includes all of us.
