Description
Making the case for "Leading Across Differences": Despite the growing challenges and opportunities created by our interconnected world, many leaders do not know how to handle situations in which there are misunderstandings or conflicts rooted in differences - especially differences steeped in social identities, such as gender, religion, race, ethnicity, and country of origin. Filled with practical, relevant, and usable information, "Leading Across Differences" includes a wealth of illustrative examples for learning what it takes to lead a wide-range and diverse group of constituents. This "Facilitator's Guide" provides information on how to create and facilitate a session based on the accompanying Casebook. It also includes group debriefing suggestions as well as additional exercises intended for groups. Several chapters provide practical advice from practitioners about the elements of successful facilitation and session management. Praise for "Leading Across Differences": 'Grounded in sound academic science, yet the cases will engage even the most skeptical corporate members who may question the practical value of intercultural training' - Peter W. Dorfman, Ph.D.,

'The value of the casebook for diversity educators is enhanced by a facilitator's guide and an instructor's guide' - David A. Kravitz, program chair, GDO Division, Academy of Management, professor and management area chair, School of Management, George Mason University.
