It's clear that leaders of American organizations are requited to play key roles in a world that has become strange to them, says Cross. To succeed in an increasingly competitive global environment, our organizational leaders must have the courage to act outside their comfort zones-to try to understand, interact with, motivate, develop, and retain a work force that is alien to them. Cross' book provides the practical assistance they need. Because racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression are not rational, help cannot be found wholly in rationalism. Such biases arise from emotional and psychological bases. Our leaders are thus forced to confront their barriers within barriers that exist at every level of their organization. Cross uses her own experiences as an African American woman and as an experienced, and recognized management consultant to demonstrate how oppression functions at the individual, group, and systems levels, but her book is not a memoir. Rather, it is a sophisticated explication of a complex and complete system of organizational change, with case studies and other useful aids, which, if fully grasped, will enable courageous leaders to succeed in understanding and dealing effectively with the urgent crosscultural and gender issues in the workplace. 606 $aDiversity in the workplace 615 0$aDiversity in the workplace. 676 $a658.3/008 700 $aCross$b Elsie Y$01798720 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954709203321 996 $aManaging diversity--the courage to lead$94341634 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04979nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9910955291203321 005 20251117080337.0 010 $a1-61668-646-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000149116 035 $a(EBL)3018181 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000687975 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11426335 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000687975 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10756820 035 $a(PQKB)11272552 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3018181 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3018181 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10659103 035 $a(OCoLC)923657571 035 $a(BIP)29020745 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000149116 100 $a20100222d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aCoal combustion research /$fChristopher T.
