This is an eye-opening book. Sylvia Ann Hewlett's compelling new data shows the scope and span of sexual misconduct at work. Victims include professionals of color, immigrants and LGBTG individuals as well as junior women, underscoring the idea that sexual misconduct and harassment is more about dominance and control than anything else - a way for the power elite (or the proverbial Old Boys Club) to maintain perks and privileges. -- <strong>Tiger Tyagarajan, CEO, Genpact</strong> Sylvia Ann Hewlett's powerful new book explains how and why the #MeToo movement is challenging corporate America. Compelling, compassionate - and hard to put down - it makes the case that combating sexual misconduct and striving for inclusion are not only the just things to do, they are essential if organizations are to survive and thrive. Particularly valuable are Hewlett's concrete action steps for individuals and corporations. This book will shape how leaders think about and deal with sexual misconduct for years to come. -- <strong>Hon. Barbara Jones, former judge in the US District Court for the Southern District and special counsel to the archdiocese of NY with regard to accusations of sexual abuse</strong>

Barbara Jones, former judge in the US District Court for the Southern District and special counsel to the archdiocese of NY with regard to accusations of sexual abuse A bold and urgent call to action for individuals, leaders, and corporations on one of the most significant movements of our time.

She digs into the hardest layers of #MeToo to undercover hidden pockets of pain that don't make the front pages. - Todd Sears, CEO and founder, Out Leadership This is a brave and important book, filled with personal stories and rich data. Hewlett reveals that junior, white, straight women are far from being the only victims of sexual misconduct, and that power-not sexual desire-is at the root of the problem. Once you start reading this book, you won't stop. - Victoria Bateman, the Iain Macpherson Lecturer in Economics at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge University #MeToo in the Corporate World adds a critical dimension to conversations about sexual misconduct and gender equity.

Now is the moment for corporations to take action. - Lorraine Hariton, CEO and president, Catalyst Brave and powerful.
