Diversity Intelligence: Inspiring By Including

Today's team leaders feel constant pressure to innovate and position their products, services, teams, and themselves more creatively than ever before. In our highly diverse workplaces, cultural and diversity intelligence is critical to achieving these goals. Diversity extends beyond race, ethnicity, religion, culture, or newcomer status, to include factors such as geography, language, politics, gender, beliefs, economic status, abilities, skills, and interests. By aligning diversity intelligence with leadership values, strategies, and communication practices to ensure a truly collaborative, inclusive, and engaging work culture environment, we can inspire high performance teams to manage the change that is inevitable with innovation in the 21st century.
