| Summary: | This empowering study on human diversity helps readers develop the ability to understand, respect and value diversity and demonstrates how opening one's mind to the views of other peoples and cultures is central for a quality education and successful career. Personalizing the learning experience by integrating a variety of real-life student experiences and perspectives, it discusses topics in a style that promotes self-reflection and dialogue that is inclusive and not condescending. Complete with self-reflective journal questions, case studies and interactive exercises, it discusses diversity and workplace issues, such as teamwork, conflict management, leadership, racism, prejudice and communication and zeros in on the relationship between an employee's success and his/her ability to develop flexible thinking to positively and effectively deal with a variety of diversity issues. |
