Leading Culturally Diverse Teams
By: Robin J. Ely
Abstract
Describes the Leading Culturally Diverse Teams module (eight class sessions), which teaches students the leadership perspectives and skills necessary to develop high-functioning, culturally diverse teams (teams diverse in, for example, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, nationality). The module explores the forces within society and individuals that hinder the effective functioning of culturally diverse teams, and it examines how team leaders can foster conditions that make cultural diversity an asset rather than a liability. The material can be taught in various configurations, depending on the desired depth.
