Drawing extensively on literature from three different areas - public relations, diversity and inclusion/equity in U.S. societal and organizational contexts, and leadership - the authors build a conceptual framework, theoretical propositions, and a model for inclusive leadership in public relations that addresses industry dynamics. The authors argue that there is ample research evidence that diversity and inclusion efforts cannot succeed without leadership support that commits to and assumes responsibility and accountability for the structural and cultural changes required. The book is timely as a resource for public relations scholars and as a supplementary text for advanced courses in public relations principles, theory, management, leadership, and diversity. It also provides practitioners theoretical guidance on how to improve diversity, inclusion, and equity in their organizations"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003170020 ER -
