Managing Differently to Achieve Superior Performance

The authors have created a handbook for leaders to be used in an ever changing and diverse workplace. The book begins with the notion that diversity initiatives should focus on managers and their leadership capabilities. This very practical approach to leadership makes it possible to improve communications within an organization as well as improve performance that impacts the bottom line. This book drives home the point that everyone in the organization wants to feel valued and that the manager's responsibility is to create the environment for total employee engagement. Many of the concepts are basic and fundamental to success. What's the catch? We don't always remember to practice them. Managing Differently is the reminder we need to propel us to greater interaction with our people which leads to greater productivity and bottom line results. I have provided this book to my direct reports and would suggest that other leaders do the same.
