Making Diversity Work: 7 Steps for Defeating Bias in the Workpla

For: 'nyasangosi' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Making Diversity Work: Seven Steps for Defeating Bias in the Workplace Sondra Thiederman (Author) Hardcover: 224 pages Publisher: Kaplan Publishing (October 1, 2003) Language: English ISBN-10: 0793177634 ISBN-13: 978-0793177639 Amazon.com Review Making Diversity Work offers fresh and fascinating ideas for reducing bias--one person at a time. "Bias lies in every heart and mind--it is also where the answers lie," writes diversity expert Sondra Thiederman. By focusing on the individual, rather than the organization, she defines a powerful focus for bias busting in the workplace. Racial and sexual bias costs big bucks warns Thiederman, citing litigation, lowered sales, and loss of employees and customers. Using case studies, politically incorrect questions, and insightful strategies, she guides readers through "the discomfort of self discovery." After detailing how biases are learned, Thiederman introduces seven steps to prevent bias from blocking and distorting your work relationships. The book's centerpiece is a brilliant discussion of how to manage "gateway events,"(for example, hearing an inappropriate comment or being treated with a biased behavior) and start a conversation about sticky diversity issues. This brave and groundbreaking analysis should define the direction of diversity training for decades to come. --Barbara Mackoff

@jlithgow:
I can guess what you are talking about the religious troubles. But Muslims in my country is not that troublesome as much I've come across, ofcourse there IS incompatibility. I'm from a secular country.
Got your point, but you should get mine too. This comment section is meant for the quality of the torrent, not the subject. Your frustrating comments can misguide downloaders. If you wanna discuss on it; you're most welcome to the General Discussion Forum:

jlithgow is a Zionist jew scumbag supporter of APARTHEID Israel and always spreads lies about Islam (see above) even on torrents that have nothing to do with the subject. He is a pathetic fag that obviously has no life and will thankfully die alone.

@ramikaz (& if the above statement is true then @jlithgow too):
I give a shit about your religious debates (this is the first, and maybe last nasty word I've ever used @ TPB).
This is not the right place for you. I don't support Muslim, neither Jews, and not all other bla bla ... I believe in one religion and that is 'humanity' and that is my culture (not religion) taught me to believe in.
You people will get nothing spitting on each other in the name of religion, but will dirt yourselves all the way. Start believing in the religion I've mentioned: 'Humanity', be a little cultured (if you at all consider yourselves 'human').

I believe Rustgold's 'on the actual topic' post. Man's activity represents him and 'work' is the only work to do at 'workplace'.
That book was requested, BTW ... :)
