Are your talent management systems identifying the right leaders and doing it fairly?
Designing for Diversity is a practical, research-informed guide for managers, HR leads and departmental heads who want to improve performance assessment, promotion decisions and leadership pipelines without reinforcing bias.
Binna Kandola challenges outdated philosophies that shape traditional talent management, showing how they can unintentionally exclude high-potential individuals. Drawing on real-world examples, the book provides actionable strategies to design systems that truly recognize and nurture leadership talent.
You'll learn how to:
- Apply inclusive performance management methods that surface hidden talent
- Build equitable promotion processes grounded in measurable criteria
- Integrate formal and informal mentoring to expand opportunity
- Move beyond token targets to create lasting cultural change
From refining talent identification to rethinking development frameworks, Designing for Diversity gives mid-career professionals the tools to align strategy, equity and impact. The result is stronger talent pipelines, fairer workplaces and better business outcomes.
Themes include: talent management, diversity in leadership, performance assessment, equitable promotion, inclusive workplace culture
