Drive a more innovative, inclusive culture that welcomes all talent.

Many technology leaders believe in having more women and people of color in technical and leadership positions throughout their organizations. In truth, though, they just fall back on exclusionary behaviors, like revering the typically male "lone genius" who is essential to their innovative future. Why the disconnect?

According to Telle Whitney, cofounder of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, while tech leaders may want to talk about inclusivity, few actually change their cultures to dismantle the unwelcoming environment, fearful that doing so will compromise innovation. Women and people of color pay the price, facing exclusive and even hostile workplaces. They're held back from professional growth and, in many cases, choose to leave the industry altogether.

But there is a solution. In Rebooting Tech Culture, Whitney argues that the same values at the heart of innovation—creativity, courage, confidence, curiosity, communication, and community—can also foster a culture that’s welcoming to all employees. Drawing on more than fifty interviews with tech executives and a survey of a thousand people in tech, she shows how these "six Cs" can power real change in technology organizations, creating workplaces where anyone can be successful and where innovation thrives.

Today, every company is a tech company. By understanding how to apply these values and reinvigorate their cultures, leaders will learn how to eliminate the behaviors holding their teams back from true belonging, growth, and innovation.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Proven ideas for creating and supporting high-performing teams
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2025

    The history of diversity in technology has been marked with moments of optimism and, sadly, moments of despair. I was a PhD student at Stanford in the mid-80s, around when Telle Whitney and Anita Borg started what was then the systers email list (I was an early member of systers). The PhD program at Stanford at the time was 30% female - but not because standards were lowered in search of mandated diversity targets. It was competitive, and we all felt that 50% was within reach. But then there were low points - the percentage of women (and other people who are not white or Asian men) declined from the early 80s through the 2000s, and recent gains are threatened.

    The question is not "how do we get people into the field?" As Telle rightly points out, it's how we create a culture that values the contributions of diverse teams. How do we help people develop careers in technology that are fulfilling and allow balance in their lives? It's proven that diverse teams produce better research, better products and better results, but how to maintain this past initial hiring?

    This book contains proven suggestions for how to build a work culture that encourages enthusiastic participation from teams that reflect the society we live in - in all its complexity and intersectionality. Thank you, Telle.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pragmatic ideas for shaping your company culture

    As a recently retired CEO of a technology company, I was curious if this book would track with my experience and if it had anything to offer me. One of the most difficult challenges of the senior management team is creating the right culture; the culture is key to attracting and retaining top talent. I am happy to report that Rebooting Tech Culture presented some new ideas and concepts that I had not considered before, and clarified possible solutions to problems I have struggled to solve. I really like that the author's approach was pragmatic and not academic.

    A fantastic book by the de facto godmother of women in computing - Telle Whitney. It’s filled with stories about the challenges women can face in male-dominated fields and paths forward so that all genders can do their best work, thrive, and solve the world’s most pressing problems that can be addressed with tech.
