MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Shirley Engelmeier, founder of InclusionINC and a pioneering
thought leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), releases
her highly anticipated book, Deliberate Disruption: Unraveling
the Anti-DEI Ideology & Getting Back to Why DEI Works. This
compelling work uncovers the orchestrated efforts to undermine DEI
initiatives and provides robust evidence on why DEI remains
critical for business success.
Unraveling the Anti-DEI Ideology
With over 25 years of experience, Engelmeier delves deep into
the recent backlash against DEI. She reveals that this pushback is
not a spontaneous grassroots movement but a deliberate
disinformation campaign spearheaded by well-funded think tanks.
Her book meticulously dissects the tactics used to propagate
anti-DEI sentiments, which have migrated from fringe media to
mainstream channels and even influenced state legislation,
significantly impacting DEI efforts nationwide.
The Power and Profitability of DEI
Deliberate Disruption goes beyond debunking myths; it
reaffirms the essential role of inclusion, diversity and equity in
driving business success. Engelmeier provides validated global
research demonstrating that inclusive cultures enhance engagement,
retention, productivity, and innovation. She also highlights
extensive and credible research showing the overall high
profitability of having diverse employees in leadership
positions.
Engelmeier emphasizes that DEI is not just a moral or ethical
imperative but a strategic business advantage. "Creating a culture
of inclusion meets the needs of changing clients and customers,
ultimately driving sales and services," she explains.

positioned inclusion as a critical driver of business success long
