From Ally to All-In: The Five Stages of Moving Beyond Privilege and Becoming a More Inclusive Leader

The business world is often depicted as a zero-sum game, a hopelessly divided space where results and performance benchmarks are one goal, while a commitment to inclusion and a positive culture for all team members is another--and rarely can the two be achieved together.This is simply not true, as Mike Lynch, creator of the Ally to All-In Framework, presents this call to action for leaders, especially white men, who are ready to take an honest look at their role in creating truly inclusive environments. From Ally to All-In doesn't shame or blame or impose ideology--it explores what it means to do more than just pay lip service to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and instead engage in a way that's authentic, responsible, and deeply engaged.Lynch shares personal stories of struggle and growth, as well as those of clients he has coached and mentored. These enriching experiences are anchored by the five building blocks of the ally to all-in journey--Awareness, Acknowledgment, Atonement, Accountability, and Amplification.This is your guide to move beyond allyship toward a more active, wholehearted commitment to inclusion. Leaders who do the committed inner work required to show up meaningfully in these conversations will feel empowered, not overwhelmed.Become energized as you use your privilege and influence to elevate others while also improving business results--one conversation and one action at a time.
