Members of minority groups strive to make their organizations better for others like themselves without limiting their career paths. Socially or environmentally conscious workers seek to act on their values at firms more concerned with profits than global poverty or pollution.\nYet many firms leave little room for differences, and people who don't \"fit in\" conclude that their only option is to assimilate or leave. In Rocking the Boat, Debra E. Meyerson presents an inspiring alternative: building diverse, adaptive, family-friendly, and socially responsible workplaces not through revolution but through walking the tightrope between conformity and rebellion.\nMeyerson shows how these \"tempered radicals\" work toward transformational ends through incremental means—sticking to their values, asserting their agendas, and provoking change without jeopardizing their hard-won careers. Whether it's by resisting quietly, leveraging \"small wins,\" or mobilizing others in legitimate but powerful ways, tempered radicals turn threats to their identities into opportunities to make a positive difference in their companies—and in the world.\nTimely and provocative, Rocking the Boat puts self-realization and change within everyone's reach—whether your difference stems from race, gender, sexual orientation, values, beliefs, or social perspective.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1422121380\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1422121380.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Meyerson, Debra E.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
