Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The authors have created a handbook for leaders to be used in an ever changing and diverse workplace. The book begins with the notion that diversity initiatives should focus on managers and their leadership capabilities. This very practical approach to leadership makes it possible to improve communications within an organization as well as improve performance that impacts the bottom line. This book drives home the point that everyone in the organization wants to feel valued and that the manager's responsibility is to create the environment for total employee engagement.
Many of the concepts are basic and fundamental to success. What's the catch? We don't always remember to practice them. Managing Differently is the reminder we need to propel us to greater interaction with our people which leads to greater productivity and bottom line results. I have provided this book to my direct reports and would suggest that other leaders do the same.

We got off track early with diversity by focusing on sensitivity to differences and by limiting those differences to race and gender. As a result, diversity and diversity management have been marginalized and the strategic value has become invisible. Meanwhile, management techniques have focused too much on identifying specific styles. There have been a series of fads targeted toward leaders and focused on addressing operational issues. In both cases, we have attempted to apply simple tools to an increasingly complex environment. We have not taken advantage of available talent because the link between people management, diversity of perspective, and performance was never made . . . until now.Jim Rodgers, CMC, a confidential advisor to successful leaders in dozens of market leading companies, comes out of the shadows to reveal the secret to their success. Managing Differently™ implies that effective people management is the essential key to increasing performance for any organization. People are by nature diverse (different and similar) – and this increases the level of complexity in the workplace. However, getting 100% from 100% of people, 100% of the time is not only achievable – it is fundamental to world class performance.Jim uses simple language and vivid examples to help leaders and managers move from knowing to doing those things which produce high levels of performance from their people.
