While organizational interest in diversity continues to grow, many programs that support diversity initiatives are faltering. As a consequence, the movement toward greater diversity now stands at an important crossroads. To say that today’s choices and the actions taken will determine the ultimate success or failure of this vitally important initiative is no exaggeration. In this practical and provocative guide, renowned diversity expert Marilyn Loden shares the strategies and tactics used by organizations committed to implementing diversity from the top down. The case histories and examples used in each chapter are drawn from a rich variety of corporate, government, and academic settings. The author’s critical analysis of current organizational missteps and successes highlights emerging patterns on the diversity landscape – patterns that managers and diversity specialists cannot afford to ignore. Beyond assessing current challenges, Implementing Diversity offers insights and solutions. Topics covered include: making a strong business case for diversity, minimizing organizational backlash, and building cooperation and trust among diverse groups. Loden also describes the 18 classic mistakes made when implementing diversity initiatives – and how to avoid them.

Implementing Diversity is the go-to book for this important aspect of modern-day management; it is recommended by the Navy Diversity Officer.
