are more diverse than ever before. These cultural differences can either lead to gridlock among stubborn, single-minded thinkers or they can catalyze innovation and growth among an expansive team of creative, distinctive individuals.

Diverse Teams and Management

Diverse teams are far more creative than homogenous teams--but only when they are managed effectively. Driven by Difference identifies the management practices necessary to minimize conflict while maximizing the informational diversity found in varied values and experiences.

Cultural Intelligence and Success Stories

Drawing on the cultural intelligence, or CQ, of diversity success stories from Google, Alibaba, Novartis, and other groundbreaking companies, this must-have resource teaches managers of diverse groups how to:

    Create an optimal environment

    Consider the various audiences when selecting and selling an idea

    Design and test for different users

    Fuse differing perspectives

    Align goals and expectations

New perspectives and talents have joined your company's ranks in recent years. Are you seeing the increased innovation and success that should be resulting from such diversity?
