In her latest book, The Leaders You Need: How to Create Diverse Leadership Teams for a More Dynamic, Resilient Future, Karen Brown shares the approach she has used to guide organizations from small nonprofits to the Global 500 on their journey to greater diversity in leadership and management. Her framework consists of four pillars:

- How to align diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts with business priorities
- How to build strong partnerships with stakeholders
- How to cultivate a culture of role models
- How to define objectives and outcomes with data

Readers will learn how to use the framework to identify and dismantle the barriers to greater leadership and management diversity in their organizations. What's more, they will get practical advice on how to become inclusive leaders who create opportunities for everyone on their teams to learn, grow, and fulfill their potential.

Karen Brown’s company, Bridge Arrow, connects the dots by linking diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to business solutions. The goal is to make businesses more profitable by helping leaders and managers be more effective, and employees more productive. When these things are achieved, the result is higher return on equity for investors, shareholders and all other stakeholders.

Karen’s bespoke business approach is formed from her 35+ years as an operations and DEI leader in global for profits and over 18 years serving on nonprofit boards. She has also served as a global keynote speaker on 6 continents.
