Managing the Diverse Team

Managers today are leading increasingly diverse teams. Diversity includes differences in ethnicity, religion, culture, age, sexual orientation and gender. It may also denote different professional backgrounds, functional expertise and communication styles. Are your managers equipped to leverage the diversity of their teams?
