Synopsis

This is a guide to how diversity of all kinds can be a major asset in teams. It shows how different types of diversity offer different strengths and resources (from ethnic, gender and religious differences through to differences of temperament, personality and capability). Most team leaders have far more material with which to solve problems than they realise within the personal make-up of their teams. This book describes how they can go about releasing this powerhouse of diversity for beneficial results.
