Description
This book tells a very human story of transcendence. Do you know what it feels like to be excluded-to be made the -other, - kept in the dark, and figuratively covered with dung? It is a social death sentence. It causes resentment and pain. It is the way we do business! Many of those who embody difference, when it is feared they would threaten the status quo, are subtly kept away from opportunity. Their aspirations for advancement are frustrated, if not by legal means then at least by willful neglect. Exclusion by frustration is the name of that game. The tyranny of -good enough- prevails. Everyone loses in the end. People who feel they have something to prove, and who solely focus on results, tend to be inattentive to the very thing that accelerates results, strengthens collaboration, exponentially increases productivity and engagement, demonstrates respect, enables learning, facilitates creativity, and optimizes execution: listening, to others' stories of humanity and thereby getting to know their souls. The Unraveling is a fable that weaves leadership lessons around the corporate journey of a man who answers the call of 9/11, joins the fight against terror only to be slapped with his 'otherness'. He unwittingly threatens the status quo despite the best of intentions. Antoine experiences exclusion by frustration. Will he discover the victory hiding in his setback?
