This ground-breaking new book will introduce you to new ways of thinking about leadership and inclusion in the workplace through an integrated exploration of research studies, stories, learning experiences and tested solutions. In it, you'll discover how to make individual and collective intelligence more intelligent by changing the way you, and your organization, thinks.
The world-changing events of the last few years -- from the use of social media in the protests in Egypt and the hair-trigger volatility in the global financial markets, to the natural disasters in Japan-- have illustrated how the world has become inextricably interconnected. This interconnectedness has changed the ways in which we respond and react, but it must also change the ways in which we think so that we can lead proactively and not reactively.
The Next IQ: The Next Level of Intelligence for 21st Century Leaders illustrates this change in the way we think --from the transformation of leadership from being rooted in individual expertise to being formed from multiple and diverse perspectives. It's the start of a conversation on how we need to think, learn and lead in this new millennium.
If you want to take your organization to the next level of intelligence that you'll need in order to think, learn and compete in the increasingly seamless global marketplace of the 21st century, then this book is an essential addition to your library. With this accessible and innovative book you can make your business, firm, or organization more intelligent for the way the world works today.

"Over the past five years, Dr. Reeves has helped our legal department integrate diversity and inclusion into our leadership principles. We are excited about The Next IQ, which is both an analysis of what we need to do to effectively step into today's leadership challenges as well as a guide on how we can actually take individual and organizational action to become better and more inclusive leaders."
--Jeff Gearhart, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
"This book is a must read for any CEO or CLO of a multi-national corporation that is facing the immediate task of creating a leadership pipeline that will forever transform and best position its Company for the challenges of an ever increasing dynamic, diverse, and competitive global marketplace. Dr. Reeves artfully balances intuition, empirical data and pragmatism to make a compelling case for the need of today's leaders to embrace a radically different mindset and approach to leading through inclusion and by seeking many different perspectives in search of all of the right answers and solutions to a problem and not simply selecting one "right answer" to solve the problem. This is exactly the type of mindset needed within DuPont to maximize the growth opportunities that exist in the "developing markets" throughout the world. Simply stated, the leaders of tomorrow can no longer rely upon their innate intelligence. "Inclusive intelligence" will be the hallmark of successful leaders of the future. That is the case made in this treatise and one that could not have been more timely delivered. Thank you, Dr. Reeves"
--Thomas L. Sager, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, DuPont Legal
"Dr. Reeves offers us an insightful tool in the Next IQ. The book provides any audience, whether they be corporate businesses, law firms, or other organizations seeking tools to grow, with great resources that can transform thinking from many of the traditional notions and biases that we carry in many historical ways of thinking, or Retro IQ, to a journey of introspection and discovery that will help us all in gaining a value-add through this expanded inclusion and diversity lens. Individuals or teams can use the book to expand their collective thinking, open up pre-existing blind spots, and truly become recipients of hidden value that already exists in many organizations. I highly recommend it."
--N. Cornell Boggs, III, Chief Responsibility and Ethics Officer, MillerCoors LLC
"The myriad books about leadership, and about diversity and inclusion, can leave one with the sense that all insights on those subjects are exhausted. The Next IQ dispels that impression, from the first page to the last. Dr. Reeves draws upon a wealth of experience and extraordinary insight to demonstrate the interrelation between leadership and inclusion in a most unique way. The thesis of the book--that inclusion is not just a social goal, but the most important tool in achieving and sustaining successful leadership--is compellingly demonstrated through practical advice that easily and effectively can be incorporated into the daily activity of any person seeking to lead, in any field. This is a fabulous work."
--William A. Von Hoene Jr., Executive Vice President, Finance & Legal, Exelon Corporation
"Arin Reeves's new book is not just interesting reading, it's essential reading for any leader coping with the information revolution and the rapid pace of 21st century change. Reeves's observations about our interactions -- not just in the workplace, but in society -- are perceptive, enlightening, entertaining, and undeniable. The Next IQ is that rare book that combines revelation with practical advice. After reading this book, you will not approach your colleagues or your decisions in the same way."
--Susan Lichtenstein, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Chief Legal Officer, Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc.
