In this introductory monologue, Jessica Hickman presents her book The Upstander Leader, explaining its genesis from client requests across diverse industries seeking insight into global social movements such as #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and Australia’s March for Justice. She frames the book as a guide for leaders to diagnose bystander cultures within their organizations and to cultivate upstanders—champions of change—through a five‑step methodology. Hickman also introduces herself as a speaker, educator, founder of Bullyology, and leader of the Upstander Movement, emphasizing her mission to eliminate unnecessary workplace suffering and to educate leaders worldwide to become changemakers.

Chapters

The Upstander Leader explores the complexities of organizational leadership and examines the critical power of upstanders. I decided to write this book after requests from clients across multiple industries and organizations that really wanted to understand the big picture trends that were happening on a global scale, from the #MeToo movement to Black Lives Matter to more recently in Australia, the March for Justice movement. They wanted to understand how they can be better leaders, how they can understand whether they have bystander cultures, and how really they can create champions of change. The Upstander Leader really unpacks the 5-step methodology on how to help teams move from bystander to upstander. I'm Jessica Hickman, a speaker and educator living in Australia. I'm the founder of Bullyology and leader of the Upstander Movement, and I'm on a mission to end unnecessary workplace suffering and educate leaders around the globe to be changemakers, to be upstanders.
