5.0 out of 5 stars The Lion-Hearted Author, February 11, 2000

TPJArmstrong (Baltimore, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Diversity Advantage : A Guide to Making Diversity Work (Hardcover)

This book represents a conversational approach to sharing critical information. Common sense steps to digging into our head regarding the value of tolerance and inclusiveness. I had the feeling of "being there" in a true teaching session. The analogy of The Wizard of OZ was delightful. The exercises are thought out and well organized. Thank you for providing steps on "how to make a difference"!

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical easy-to-read guide, January 8, 1999

IrvinGI@aol.com (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Diversity Advantage : A Guide to Making Diversity Work (Hardcover)

Many books have been written on diversity, but this one goes beyond theories and analyses and provides useful directions on how to contribute to and benefit from diverse work places and social environments. The book is enriched by the the author's personal anecdotes. And an added benefit is the "workbook" format. Following most chapters, readers are encouraged to examine, write-in and apply personal learnings. The Diversity Advantage will be a valuable resource for anyone who is looking for understanding and skills to more effectively relate to others.
