Book Description
Managing Diversity is a comprehensive reference on diversity with an excellent misture of practical information, worksheets and activities. It goes past diversity awareness to systemic, long-term, hands-on implementation of a diversity strategy. Included are approximately 100 charts, checklists, suggested activities, worksheets, systems audits, exercises, sample interview questions, and tip sheets. Each exercise, worksheet, etc. is accompanied by a full page of the author's suggestions on how it can be best utilized in the trenches as well as how it fits in to the theory of what is being explained in the text. It covers everything from theory, implementation, evaluation and measurement to what the future holds and why some programs have failed and what to do about it, as well as offering a comprehensive resource section.

Format:Ring-bound
This book provides a great "big-picture" view of what a diversity initiative might involve. The authors address diversity with a perspective that a diversity initiative is more than an education program, and give explanation to some othe systems and processes that must be addressed in order to be successful at integrating diversity into an organization. A big positive is that the authros do not use the race/gender basis for diversity, but expand the definition to include many other characteristics that almost all people can realte to. I highly recommend the book.

Trite, simplistic and not worth the money
12 Dec 1998
Format:Ring-bound
Managing diversity is a subject that does not lend itself to simplistic, checklist solutions. Yet, that is exactly what the authors provide - a plethora of superficial recipes. Not particularly thoughtful and not at all practical for real-world use.
Real diversity management is far more complicated than this text would suggest!
