Are you convinced diversity should play an important role in your organization's development but having trouble getting others to listen? Decision makers often have negative feelings towards diversity - and no wonder, we?ve been approaching it as a "must do" for decades. If you?re looking for positive things to say about diversity and how to say them, 10 Words will equip you with a vocabulary to get people to take it (and you) seriously. Do you speak diversity ... leadership? The POWER OF 10 Diversity Management Series focuses on diversity management from different aspects of the organization, whether operating in the business, government or nonprofit sector. Each handbook promotes an understanding of diversity as an organizational strategy that is closely intertwined with cost-effectiveness, increased profitability, social responsibility and sustainable development - rather than as a "must-do", which has characterized unproductive diversity work for decades. Readers will appreciate each handbook's get-to-the-point format of 40 pages or less, developed around ten steps or strategies intended to take the mystique and academics out of working with diversity. Each "10" handbook is written to be easily understood and adapted by managers in all sectors, and by those who have English as a second or third language. The POWER OF 10 Series is equally useful for people who are new to the world of diversity, as for those with many years of experience but who seek new inspiration or concrete arguments to further promote diversity's strategic nature to management groups. Gary Baker applies nearly 20 years of real-world experience from business, government and nonprofits sectors, ranging from California's multicultural Silicon Valley to Stockholm, Sweden. His experience working with diversity from business and regulatory perspectives includes having started new departments at two California banks, a new consulting line at Deloitte & Touche and, since 2003, managing his own consulting business in Stockholm, where he is a sought-after speaker and trainer.
