If you're in a diverse team, you know employee differences can
cause miscommunication, lower trust, and hurt productivity...It
doesn't have to be this way! The people you work with may be from a
different generation, different culture, different race, different
gender, or just a different philosophy toward work and life in
general, but you need to work together toward a common goal. How to
Work With and Lead People Not Like You explains how to dial down
the differences, smooth out the friction, and play upon each
other's strengths to become more effective, more productive, and
less stressed. The keys are to find the common ground and identify
hidden conflicts that are hurting productivity. Many people shudder
at the prospect of working with diverse groups of people, but they
can't voice their fear or anxiety. At work, it's not OK or
politically correct to say, 'I'm uncomfortable with this person.'
In fact, if you do say something along those lines, your job may be
at risk. Your company may terminate you for not being on the
'diversity bandwagon.' So you keep quiet and you keep your thoughts
to yourself. But deep down, you are uncomfortable. If you feel like
this, it doesn't mean you're racist, sexist, ageist, homophobic, or
any other negative label. It means you're struggling. You're
struggling to understand people, cultures, or values that are
unfamiliar to you. You're struggling to do your job with teammates
and coworkers who may have very different viewpoints or different
approaches to communication than you have. You're struggling to
overcome differences and pull together to achieve high performance
at work. Whether you're leading a diverse team, working in a
challenging cross-cultural environment, or simply working with
people who are 'not like you,' you need to be able to get along
with everyone as a team, to get the work done. This book explains
the skills you need to communicate, motivate, and inspire people to
collaborate even if they have very different values, lifestyles, or
priorities. * Learn key steps that bring cohesion to diversity *
How to have a constructive conversation about working alongside
people who are different * The four magic words that make this
easier and smooth over friction * What not to say and why * Learn
to set aside differences and get things done * Learn how to handle
a racist, sexist, homophobic or offensive remark in a professional
way * Retain your sanity when colleagues drive you crazy The
changing demographics of today's workforce bring conflicting
viewpoints, perspectives, approaches, skills, habits, and
personalities together in one place; whether that leads to synergy
or catastrophe is up to you. How to Work With and Lead People Not
Like You helps you turn a hurdle into an advantage so you or your
team can do more, achieve more, and enjoy the ride.
