- [BE AN ALLY AND AN ACCOMPLICE](https://inclusivepebbles.com/be-an-ally-and-an-accomplice/): BE AN ALLY AND AN ACCOMPLICE Consider who gets interrupted in a meeting, who gets chastised for taking a controversial or contrarian position, whose ideas and achievements get appropriated, and whose opinions are categorically questioned or discounted. Consider the Black man who is told in a meeting to “settle down” when exhibiting enthusiasm during a robust discussion. Think of the person with autism who’s chastised for not making eye contact or for their difficulty reading social cues. Or the hiring manager who always uses male pronouns in conversation, assuming the candidate hired is going to be a man. These are

Look no farther than Pam Maynard](https://inclusivepebbles.com/what-does-inclusive-leadership-look-like-look-no-farther-than-pam-maynard/): What does Inclusive leadership look like? Look no farther than Pam Maynard.  Pam Maynard, CEO of Avanade Another stop on our journey. Jonathan and I decided early on that we wanted to illuminate incredible leaders who epitomized the ID&E principles we were advocating in our book. It was to give readers a taste of how fortunate we’ve been by simply crossing paths with remarkable leaders and human beings. It was also to give visibility to powerful examples of leaders who led inclusively every single day. In some ways too, it allowed us to humanize these amazingly talented people and show

- [Who’s In Your Kitchen?](https://inclusivepebbles.com/whos-in-your-kitchen/): Who’s In Your Kitchen? In memory of inclusive leader Peggy Joan Maxie By Jonathan Stutz (he/him/his) When you entertain at home, who are the folks congregating in your kitchen (as they always seem to do)? It’s a question I routinely pose during my Inclusive Leadership training sessions. This thought exercise arose from Martin Luther King Jr.’s time in Alabama during the US civil rights movement of the 1960s. The social justice leader and his collaborators enjoyed plentiful meals in the home of activist Georgia Gilmore as they planned their strategy and tactics. Dr. King posed the question while thinking about the
- [How ID&E Benefits White Men — and Everyone Else Too!​](https://inclusivepebbles.com/how-ide-benefits-white-men-and-everyone-else-too/): How ID&E Benefits White Men — and Everyone Else Too! In most western countries, white men are the most privileged, have the most power and most status of any group in the society. According to the most recent data from the Pew Research Center, white men in the US dominate leadership roles in the top U.S. political, business, and higher education positions.

- [It Takes a Village](https://inclusivepebbles.com/collaboration/): It Takes a Village In our book we talked about the concept of “Who is in your kitchen?” as a means of thinking about who we surround ourselves with, who we learn from, who inspires us, and so on. We strongly advocate having diverse voices and lived experiences in your kitchen with you. Surround yourselves with people who are different from you, who think differently, who are culturally and racially different and who will offer you a perspective that expands your reality.
