Diversity management:
beyond sexual harassment,
prosperous gender relations
In the beginning, attorneys taught managers the threat of Sexual Harassment
Liability. Even female managers emerged from these workshops shell-shocked
by the implications of previously innocent comments or gestures.
Today, our workplace is more diverse, and we need to understand a marketplace
that defies classification. Today, our markets include cultures of
different
countries, as well as a U.S. population that doesn’t
identify with
the nuclear family of Father, Mother at home, and 2.3
children.
Two New Truths
-
We won’t be working next to people who think just like us, and
-
We
need
folks who don’t think like us, so we can capture
our markets.
As both managers and subordinates, women are aggravated by inept managers
questioning "Why can’t a woman think more like a man!"
On the other hand, there are managers who involve everyone available,
and reach new benchmarks of performance. We
teach managers
to manage diversity.
We wrote a
book on this topic. Please take home
a free
chapter!
