Executive Summary:
A diverse workforce in a society can present the workplace with both new opportunities and difficulties. This book discusses a number of examples and practical recommendations on how to manage your boss in a culturally diverse society and lead from bottom-up effectively.
The labour market has branched out in many directions since the ‘assembly line homogeneity’ that was established as an ideal during industrialism. In today’s knowledge worker age, employees can sometimes clock in and out in different time zones, and the workforce is often a diverse mix of different colour, genders, economic backgrounds, race, and religions.
As workforces become more diverse, the need to manage and lead this diversity effectively from bottom-up in societies that strongly operate from top-down has arisen, and becomes a day-to-day challenge to many small, medium and multinational organisations.
