Abstract

Cushner, McClelland, and Safford (1996) defined diversity as a notion needed to "to include differences based on gender, ethnicity, race, class, age, and handicapping conditions" (p. xvii). Diversity is not simply "a notion of "other" that all Americans are, to some degree, multicultural because they live in a multicultural society" (p.xvii). The idea of diversity being more than simply understanding the multicultural heritage of employees, and culture-specific approaches to team-building can lead to problems.Leadership as it is traditionally known (command and control) does not address the rapid social, cultural, and organizational changes that are occurring around the world. Future leaders must have a global perspective and an acute awareness of cultural factors. With increasing cultural diversity , the changing workforce, and globalization, the ability to understand and interact with other cultures in a nonjudgmental manner is crucial. Further, the increase in the number of women, people with disabilities, and other traditionally underrepresented groups can lead to difficulties in communication, work and scheduling management (maternity leave, ADA and Affirmative Action/EEOC rules), and other issues. Creating high-performance teams out of diverse workforces is thus the essential challenge of business in the 21st century.
