Book excerpt: Multicultural Teams outperform other teams when you need creativity, commitment and buy in - but only if they are designed and managed well. This book will explain how to design and manage your multicultural team well, and how to create and sustain a learn-from-differences environment. Dr. Robin gives practical suggestions from research on how to design your team and then explains how you can leverage diverse perspectives within the team to maximize creative problem solving. These include: A clear, motivating focus that requires team members to engage in a conversation about why the mission is important strategically to the organization and personally to them; An understanding of how important designing the team well is, while knowing how to make the right intervention into the group process at the right time; Metrics that measure output, learning and satisfaction; The right degree of empowerment and the right type of team given your task and members; And the use of interlocking skills that maximize learning within the team. Every team leader's skills toolbox should include transformational listening, using names with ideas, and motivating others. The multicultural team management skills toolbox must also include the ability to give culturally-appropriate feedback, minority influence strategies, and attention to both process and output solutions to balance direct and indirect cultural styles.

Book excerpt: Multicultural and multinational teams have become an important strategic and structural element of organizational work in our globalized world today. These teams are demonstrating their importance from the factory floors to the boardrooms of contemporary organizations. The emergence of multicultural teams is evident across a variety of organizations in the private, public, and civil society sectors. These developments have led to an increasing interest in the theory and practice of multicultural teams. Management educational and training programs are giving increasing attention to these developments. At the same time, there is emerging interest in research about and study of multicultural teams. This book emerged from our teaching, research, and consulting with multic- tural and diverse teams in multiple sectors over the last several years. In particular, we have developed and refined our ideas about the concepts in this book from teaching an advanced course called Effective Multicultural Teams in the Graduate Program at the School for International Training (SIT) in Vermont. We have learned from the rich background of students who are from, and have worked in, six con- nents, and who are, or plan to be, working in the public, educational, not-for-profit, and for-profit sectors. Additionally, we have engaged with a variety of teams through our consulting and training, providing consultation to teams in a variety of sectors and continents as they struggled to become more effective.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: "In today's work force - where change is the only constant and a growing number of cultures have become demanding influences - business leaders must be able to harness the resources of such human diversity. Workers from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, along with the fierce competition that businesses now face, make cultural diversity a critical issue and an undeniable resource. By the turn of the century, 70 percent of new entrants to the work force will be women and minorities, and only 30 percent will be white, American-born males." "Lee Gardenswartz and Anita Rowe give you a guide to dealing with the unprecedented challenges of being a part of a culturally expanding work force. The authors show you how to improve the level of efficiency in your organization through effective cross-cultural communication." "Managing Diversity shows how to conduct a diversity audit in your organization to design the most effective program for your needs, create a corporate culture that embraces diversity to maximize the potential of your work force, build cohesive multicultural work teams, design interesting meetings that work for everyone, and hire, train, and promote a diverse work force." "You'll also find worksheets, activities, and charts to help you implement the ideas presented. These aids follow each significant issue and give you an idea where you stand now and how to improve." "Managing Diversity helps you see why understanding the vast array of values and backgrounds in the work force is crucial and gives you the information, tools, and techniques necessary to bring the experience of those backgrounds to the job. You'll find everything you need to convey the power of a rapidly changing work force to your organization."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
