We would like to thank John Fayad, our senior editor for Results at the Top. This book is only possible through his diligent efforts and valuable advice over many months. He is a true advocate for inclusion and diversity who is making it happen in business every day.

I wish to acknowledge the many men and women with whom I have worked closely over the years for their deep commitment to creating a more gender‐intelligent world for us, for our children, and for each succeeding generation.

My deepest appreciation to the women leaders and staff at the Women's Leadership Board, Harvard Kennedy School. I am honored to partner with you in your commitment to creating a world where men and women are equally valued and respected in all aspects of economic, political, and social life.

I also wish to recognize the thousands of men and women whom I have met over the years, at all levels of leadership across the globe, who want nothing more than to find ways to work together more inclusively and productively and to find greater success and satisfaction in their careers and in their personal lives.

Finally, I must recognize the organizations, both past and present, with which I have worked so closely for their amazing, dedicated men and women in positions of leadership creating cultures of Gender Intelligence.

My thanks go out to those who read earlier drafts of this book and provided their valuable comments. I would also like to thank my fellow professors at Rotman who gave me advice and helped me head in the right direction. In particular, I would like to thank Tiff Macklem, dean of the Rotman School of Management, and Mihnea Moldoveanu, vice dean, Rotman School of Management, for their support and guidance.

Important parts of my education in diversity have come from my work with Women in Capital Markets. This organization continues to do tremendous work in improving our financial markets through greater inclusion.

I would also like to thank my assistant, Bernadette Fernandes, who has supported me for many years in my various projects, including Results at the Top.

My gratitude to all of the contributors, who are too numerous to name. They have provided their stories from their real‐world experience for inclusion in our book. From them we are able to learn about what works and what doesn't work. They are role models for all of us who seek to improve our organizations. Speaking of role models, I wish to acknowledge the visionary male leaders who have recognized the economic power of men and women leading together, and who are actively involved in advancing women in leadership.
