When I wrote The Waymakers, it was for every leader who wants to lead all people well. I see equitable and inclusive leadership as the future of leadership in general, not as some special version of it. That’s why I was so excited to learn that The Waymakers won the 2023 GOLD medal for best business book in the Leadership category by Axiom Business Book Awards. Honored. Humbled. Grateful.
