Book description

A surprising new look at diversity, equity, and inclusion at contemporary workplaces and beyond.

In Diversity Done Right: Navigating Cultural Difference to Create Positive Change In the Workplace the Senior Vice President of Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at Hyatt, Tyronne Stoudemire, delivers an enlightening and startling look at group dynamics via case studies and interviews representing a variety of backgrounds.

In the book, you’ll learn how to use proven and tested frameworks and tools to assess, develop, and demonstrate cross cultural competence and humility in each chapter. You’ll also discover:

  • Strategies for developing humility and understanding of organizational and societal group dynamics.
  • Real-world examples of situations in which individuals were offended or harmed through the misbehavior of others.
  • The consequences of the collision of different world views

Perfect for managers, executives, directors, and other business leaders, Diversity Done Right will also prove invaluable to human resources professionals and DEI leaders seeking to make their workplaces more just places.
