This book is a profound call to action for leaders to build more resilient, innovative, and truly human organizations. Roy’s core thesis is a strategic imperative for the modern age: "progress for any one group of people cannot be made without progress for everyone." She challenges us to move beyond the zero-sum thinking that so often derails DEI and change management efforts, embracing a powerful strategy of "mutuality." Reclaiming Humanity is an essential, transformative read for any leader, manager, or citizen seeking to navigate the divisions of our time and build a more just, connected, and prosperous future for all.
