The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mindset in Project Management

By: Quincy Wright

Narrated by: M. A. Henson

Welcome to the first edition of The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mindset in Project Management. We provide a roadmap to help project managers foster an equitable project team environment without barriers to opportunities, including developing an inclusive space where all team members feel welcomed, valued, respected, and engaged.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mindset in Project Management's primary goals are centered on exploring how to incorporate and advance diversity, equity, inclusion, principles, tools, and techniques throughout the five major project management process groups:

• Initiating.
• Planning.
• Executing.
• Monitoring.
• Controlling.
• Closeout.

We focus on developing the professional (nontechnical) skills, growth mindset, and systems perspective needed to lead projects effectively and equitably. Upon successful completion of this audiobook, you will be able to:

• Gain a foundational understanding of technical project management principles, tools, and techniques, including the five major project management process groups.
• Gain fundamental knowledge of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE/I) principles, concepts, techniques, terms, and definitions.
• Develop a growth mindset by recognizing, identifying, and demonstrating the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that underpin the inclusive and equitable management of technical projects and cross-functional teams.
• Demonstrate the ability to engage a systems approach in applying a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE/I) mindset to managing technical projects and teams.
• Develop and apply the leadership and professional (nontechnical) skills required to be an inclusive and equitable technical project manager.

Great book for project managers or corporate leaders

I enjoyed listening to this. The author covers some great concepts on DE&I that can help those in any field but definitely those in project management. Definitely worth it.

Quincy Wright is an obvious Subject Matter Expert

Great information and delivery from an experienced Project Manager. Seems as this would also be a great read or structure set up for all leadership in companies including their CEOs. Many interesting prospective and topics ranging from Micro aggression within leadership to daring topics such as diversity and Inclusion beyond simple discussion while providing guidance for success. The PMO Nerd really makes it an easy listen/read and covers an array of corporate issues and concerns like equality vs equity. 5 star information and quality for anyone looking to start a business as well. Kudos

Tackling a tough topic

This book tackles a tough topic and lays out a plan of many ways to include DEI in a project from beginning to end. Great guidelines and tips, as well as examples.

A Playbook to Navigating DE&I in Management

There is no fluff to this book. Quincy gets straight to the point. Defines and outlines steps you can take to implement DE&I concepts as a manager ASAP!

Redundant

It was a struggle to get through this. Extremely repetitive wording. I listened to this audio book at an accelerated speed and did not gain any knowledge or insight on diversity, equity, or inclusion. This book should have a title related to project management.
