Making the Case for Leading Across Differences
Despite the growing challenges and opportunities created by our
interconnected world, many leaders do not know how to handle
situations in which there are misunderstandings or conflicts rooted
in differences -- especially differences steeped in social
identities, such as gender, religion, race, ethnicity, and country
of origin. Filled with practical, relevant, and usable information,
Leading Across Differences includes a wealth of illustrative
examples for learning what it takes to lead a wide-range and
diverse group of constituents.
This Facilitator's Guide provides information on how to create
and facilitate a session based on the accompanying Casebook. It
also includes group debriefing suggestions as well as additional
exercises intended for groups. Several chapters provide practical
advice from practitioners about the elements of successful
facilitation and session management.

the most skeptical corporate members who may question the practical
value of intercultural training."

"The value of the casebook for diversity educators is enhanced
by a facilitator's guide and an instructor's guide."
