A timely and transformative new framework for success from a sought-after strategist, speaker, and author

A timely and transformative new framework for success from a sought-after strategist, speaker, and author

The need to compete is deeply ingrained in every aspect of our lives and work. It’s often viewed as a positive: we are told it motivates us to do our best, to work hard, that it drives innovation and excellence. But, what if that’s a lie? What if in reality, competition causes more harm than good: exhaustion, anxiety, burnout, and an isolating lack of community. It encourages a scarcity mindset and keeps us from reaching our true potential.

Drawing on Ruchika’s own experiences working with corporations as a sought-after inclusion strategist, as well as interviews from business and community leaders and the latest research data, UNCOMPETE offers a new framework for building a culture of collaboration, solidarity, and mutuality. It’s a framework that yields not only a happier workplace, but a far more successful one, and it can transform our work and our lives. From showing us how to tap into our benign envy, to investigate our cultural norms, to cultivate a greater imagination, and rewrite the rules to lift everyone up, UNCOMPETE is a radical reset of our mindsets. It helps us cultivate abundance, find genuine joy in others’ victories, and embody the belief that there is room for all of us to succeed.

Praise for Uncompete


Praise for Inclusion on Purpose


“If you don’t purposefully design management systems for justice, you’re going to create systemic injustice in your organization. Ruchika Tulshyan shows how to design more just systems—and, crucially, how to become the inclusive leader and colleague you want to be.”
—Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor and Just Work


“Ruchika Tulshyan is on a mission to fix our broken workplaces by tearing down barriers. Her solution is inclusion on purpose and with empathy, and she walks through the steps to get there. Her frameworks and questions, real-world stories and data, and intersectional lens make this book a must-read for leaders and learners.”
—Ellen Pao, CEO, Project Include; author of Reset
