Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Offering an approach to recognizing and embracing diversity within your organization, this book demonstrates the link between diversity and the bottom line and helps the reader to develop the systems, attitudes and policies that transform the basis of a culture of diversity. It introduces the concepts of diversity tolerance, unity and appropriate diversity and encourages the reader to embrace new paradigms. Techniques and guidance are offered for intervening on a one-to-one basis with small teams or in large systems to help people throughout the organization understand and adopt new ways of thinking.
