A rapidly changing work culture takes creative, innovative and adaptable leaders. It seems we are always learning something new. Leaders must learn to stretch ourselves as the demands upon us continually change. It’s not an option these days. It’s mandatory just to keep up with the pace of change.

An investment in alignment upfront enables good performance and also provides the framework to address poor performance if it persists.

All too often, managers deny the existence of inequities at their organizations and, as a result, resist implementing diversity initiatives there. There are two standard explanations for this behavior: Managers resist because they’re part of privileged demographic groups whose power is threatened by the initiatives, or because they’re ideologically opposed to them.
