The recent accolades and opportunities bestowed upon Harris underscore his unwavering commitment to fostering environments where justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (J.E.D.I.) are not just buzzwords, but foundational principles.



Harris's groundbreaking work, The J.E.D.I. Leader's Playbook, has been selected by the esteemed editorial team of Kirkus Reviews as one of the Indie Books of the Month for its April 15th issue. Since 1933, Kirkus Reviews has been a pivotal force in the literary world, guiding readers and industry influencers with its discerning selections. This acknowledgment highlights Harris's significant contribution to contemporary leadership discourse and his innovative approach to J.E.D.I. principles.

Harris elaborates on the essence of the playbook: "A playbook is a framework for action. It is a document with clarity at its very essence. But it also contains proprietary, codified information on exactly how an entity plans to achieve success. This content is detailed in the format of plays, or sequences of coordinated effort, that are specifically designed to achieve desired outcomes. Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss was written as an impassioned argument for business transformation. The J.E.D.I. Leader's Playbook is the manual to make that change happen."
