Leadership in a Diverse and Multicultural Environment: Developing Awareness, Knowledge, and Skills [Paperback]

Leadership in a Diverse and Multicultural Environment provides leaders with the tools necessary to effectively interact with all individuals. Although much of the research related to multiculturalism has focused on expatriates and international assignments, the book also focuses on leaders in domestic organizations, as they can benefit from developing their own multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills. Effective leaders can shape the culture of their organization to be accepting of individuals from all races, ethnicities, religions, and genders with a minimum of misunderstandings.Leadership in a Diverse and Multicultural Environment provides leaders with the tools necessary to effectively interact with all individuals.
