The Workplace Revolution We Need Now
Imagine a world where everyone can do their best work without being held back by bias, prejudice, or bullying. This is the vision behind "Just Work" - a powerful framework for creating workplaces where people thrive regardless of gender, race, or background. What makes this approach so compelling is how it transforms workplace injustice from an abstract social issue into a practical human problem with concrete solutions. The journey begins with recognizing that most of us have been in denial about workplace inequality, much like Kim Scott herself was before her awakening: "If you'd asked me five years ago whether being a white woman had an impact on my work, I would've shrugged." Workplace injustice stems from three distinct problems, each requiring different solutions. First, there's bias - those unconscious "not meaning it" moments when our brains make snap judgments based on stereotypes. Like assuming the Latino man at the corporate event is a valet rather than the CEO, or expressing surprise when a Black banker can read. Then there's prejudice - the "meaning it" moments when someone consciously defends their biased assumptions rather than questioning them. Finally, there's bullying - the "being mean" behavior where someone intentionally uses their power or status to harm others. These problems escalate dangerously when power imbalances enter the equation.
