“Leading for Justice: Supervision, HR and Culture is a practical, no-holds-barred look at how we build justice organizations that are connected, efficient, and resilient. Rita Sever addresses the historical context of supervision and delves into hidden rules, power and privilege, and white do-gooders. She expertly interlaces stories from her experiences with guidance and tips, and challenges you to make it your own by leading you through self-reflections. This is an indispensable handbook that I will use in all of my projects.”

“Leading for Justice offers insights and advice that would benefit any supervisor or HR professional committed to an inclusive workplace. This vital guide, peppered with provocative questions and insights, will aid any supervisor or organization eager to work to live up to their mission.”

“Leading for Justice is a timely business guide for leaders looking to develop awareness around equity issues, both in themselves and in their organizations. Rita Sever’s inspirational business book Leading for Justice is designed to help leaders learn about and heal racial divisions in contemporary America.”

“A well-written and informative guide to leading an equitable workplace.”

“Leading for Justice coaches us to ask questions of belonging and invites us to take responsibility to mitigate the harmful power dynamics that flourish if we don’t go beyond habit or tradition (potentially code words for “the way it is” in White Supremacy and Patriarchal structures). As a person of color who strives for liberation, resisting that tendency to “call out” or “cancel folks” because of the harm I’ve experienced, I appreciate how Rita courageously demonstrates a path and a journey for all of us in Leading for Justice. She further allows us insight into the specific ways that our White colleagues can be on the path of justice accountability for themselves, consequently making it happen for all of us. Rita fields so many curiosities about difficult situations with compassion, sometimes humor, and always with tender integrity.  And with all the wisdom that’s in this book, Rita’s encouragement to “Make it Your Own” further solidifies my appreciation that she sees me and acknowledges my experiences.”

“This is one of the most informative and accurate leadership books I have read. The way the information is presented is very thought provoking and practical. I have been able to use it, along with my professional experiences to help really teach others how to lead, as well as grow as a leader. In addition, the chapters in this book not only build on each other, they also have the ability to be used as standalone chapter because they have been written so well.”
