THOUGHTLEADERSHIPCONFERENCE(TLC) series is for visionary and forward-thinking senior executives and experts in corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions.
“The world's increasing globalization requires more interaction among people from diverse cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds than ever before. People no longer live and work in an insular marketplace; they are now part of a worldwide economy with competition coming from nearly every continent. For this reason, profit and non-profit organizations need diversity to become more creative and open to change. Maximizing and capitalizing on workplace diversity has become an important issue for management today…….Supervisors (thought leaders, influencers & visionaries) ….are the targeted audience because they need to recognize the ways in which the workplace is changing, evolving, and diversifying…..Supervisors (thought leaders, influencers & visionaries) ….must be prepared to teach themselves and others within their organizations to value multicultural differences in both associates and customers so that everyone is treated with dignity. (excerpt from “Diversity in the Workplace: Benefits, Challenges, and the Required Managerial Tools,” by; Green, Lopez, Wysocki and Kepner)
