| Book Description | Globalization has created a superheated competitive business environment that demands innovation to stay ahead. But it's also created a hidden source of innovation right in your midst: the people in your organization who have deep experience in more than one culture--multiculturals. Having to integrate different cultural frameworks has enabled them to develop abilities that can contribute powerfully to building innovative organizations. David Thomas makes a compelling business case for recognizing and cultivating a new dimension of diversity--the diversity within individuals! He looks at how to establish the organizational conditions under which multiculturals can flourish and shows how even the most monocultural among us can gain the advantages of a multicultural mind. |
| Editorial Review | Thomas reveals the link between multicultural thinking and innovation backed by thorough research and real-life examples. A must-read for executives who want to maximize innovation in their workforce. --Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO, Norsat International "Thomas has the ability to communicate complex and sophisticated ideas in a compelling, practical, and accessible way. He provides leaders with the practical evidence-based guidance they need to leverage the unique skills of multiculturals in the service of innovation. This book is a source of rich insights, and I would encourage all business leaders looking to maximize innovation through diversity to utilize its insights to drive performance in their organizations." --Lisa Annese, CEO, Diversity Council Australia "Thomas' book will challenge HR professionals and leaders in a multicultural environment to take a fresh look at how they and their organization can benefit from recruiting and nurturing multicultural talent. He offers some great advice on how to maximize their performance, which will lead to creativity and innovation." --Nancy McKinstry, diversity consultant |
