The promise of diversity is a contemporary, future-focused business anthology that represents the views of leaders, researchers, and practitioners who are actively working to address issues of oppression and diversity in organizations.

A structured process that helps you:
* Realize why multiple activities and good intentions are not enough for achieving sustainable progress.
* Recast the meaning of diversity as more than just race and gender, but as any set of differences, similarities, and tensions -- such as workplace functions, product lines, acquisitions and mergers, customers and markets, blended families, community diversity, and more.
* Accept that a realistic goal is not to eliminate diversity tension but to use it as a catalyst to address key issues.
* Recognize diversity mixtures, analyze them accurately, and make quality decisions amid differences, similarities, and tensions.
* Build an essential set of diverse skills and develop your "diversity maturity" -- the wisdom, judgment, and experience to use those skills effectively.
* Reflect on the ways you might be "diversity challenged" yourself.
