"Is the corporate playing field still an obstacle course for people
who are “different?” Freada Kapor Klein, one of
America’s leading diversity advocates, thinks so. In
Giving Notice, she and her coauthors tell you why and
what to do about it. This refreshing and eye-opening new book
blasts the ‘diversity industry’ and the
‘meritocracy myth-makers’ for ignoring the daily
indignities and subtle biases that shape career
prospects. Giving Notice tells it like it is and then
tells it like it could be, offering every American a vision of
workplaces that are good for people, companies, and the
economy."

"This book will clearly set the new standard for the
field. I think it will be amazing and it should be required
reading for anyone in the investment business."

Management and former CEO, Goldman Sachs Asset Management
"Freada Kapor Klein provides many insights into the
microdynamics of diversity issues and even more insights into
policy issues, organizational dynamics, and ways to change
practice. She takes fundamental issues and articulates them in a
very concise, engaging, and easy-to-digest way. Her examples are
interesting, often humorous, and always clear."
