Inclusive teams are better teams -- What's in a name? -- "Pioneerism": the good, the bad, and the painful -- Becoming "experts" -- This work is not linear -- Moving through the freeze -- When you've messed up -- Leading by empowering listening -- Staying safe: swimming in the school -- Responding to identity-related aggressions (IRAs) -- Build the horse before presenting the cart -- Sustaining yourself -- Anti-racism in the workplace -- Follow the data to the future.

Research shows that diverse teams make better decisions, leading to better outcomes and increased profitability. Pinder-Amaker and Wadsworth note that representing historically marginalized identities within a team often comes with additional burdens, leading to conflict, burnout, and ultimately job turnover. Here they discuss common missteps that individuals and organizations make, and show that the secret to sustaining diverse teams is increasing the cultural humility, awareness, and responsiveness of the entire company, not just a few people. -- adapted from jacket
