not the most scintillating text, but full of info
This was a required book for a leadership course. To Morrison's credit, it is full of VERY specific advice and a step-by-step plan for companies to set and reach diversity goals. I was kind of surprised that she didn't spend much time on what exactly diversity is and why it is a noble goal besides the fact that we live in a diverse society, hence diversity. Before you know it, you're knee deep in a multitude of case studies and descriptions of how entrenched stereotypes of Hispanics, blacks and Asians can interfere with diversity efforts. I wouldn't exacty call it lively reading, but from a pragmatic standpoint, it does offer companies a good blueprint for how to put in a realistic diversity plan from many angles.In short, a useful book for managers or leaders in charge of spreading the gospel who need a model for making major changes. By reading about other companies' mistakes, I imagine others will be more fortunate in terms of avoiding these pitfalls.
