When Steve Long-Nguyen Robbins was growing up, his mother routinely told him, "Long, you walk on a path cleared by others, so it is your responsibility to clear the path for others."

He offers insight and practical advice on how to reconcile unity with diversity and reframe our organizations for competitive advantage. He adds tips and suggestions for putting key learnings into action in your organization, ending each chapter with questions, an activity, and an assignment to inspire you to be more open-minded and inclusive and to discover how the ideas presented in the book might apply to your daily life at work and at home.
