“Taylor Cox is an unusual combination of scholar and practitioner. He is working on what I consider to be the largest value lever for organizations and for nations today —namely, unleashing all of the human potential that exists in every organization. Taylor Cox has been an important partner, as he has brought his ideas, experience, and energy to Alcoa. Taylor Cox believes, as I do, that the crux of a successful effort can be found in a thoroughgoing systems approach. Using Taylor’s model and insights, will help us accomplish the same kind of world-leading results [as we have achieved with workplace safety] in managing diversity. This is a book that is worth your time. I commend it to you.”
