Global Leadership and Diversity: Crossing the Lines to Achievement
Laura Liswood is co-founder of the Council of Women World Leaders, a global organization comprised of women presidents, prime ministers, and heads of state, as well as an expert in cross-cultural workplace differences. She has a keen understanding of the management challenges of crossing cultural and gender lines to foster achievement. She argues that if the loudest duck in China gets shot, but the squeaky wheel in the U.S. gets the grease, there must be a way for the two different approaches to be appreciated and not unconsciously judged, especially as globalization continues to ‘shrink’ our world. Liswood will walk us through a new vision of a diverse workforce that goes beyond the usual ideas about diversity. Liswood is also the author of The Loudest Duck: Moving Beyond Diversity while Embracing Differences to Achieve Success at Work.
