Summary

Globalization, technological developments, and increased immigration are changing workforce demographics around the world. Creating, developing, and distributing goods and services in a global economy often requires employees from a variety of backgrounds to work together effectively. When tensions arise, often arising in society at large, they place an unprecedented demand on leadership. In a progressively interdependent and diverse world, a major leadership challenge will be to lead groups of people with diverse histories, perspectives, values, and cultures toward a common purpose.
