Todays’ team leaders feel constant pressure to innovate and position their products, services, teams and themselves more creatively than ever before. However, in our highly diverse workplaces, cultural and diversity intelligence are critical to success. Diversity extends beyond race or ethnicity, religion, culture or newcomer status to include factors such as geography, language, politics, gender, beliefs, economic status, abilities, skills and interests. A diverse workplace reflects our communities.
Leaders who develop, motivate and empower people to achieve extraordinary results aren’t acting randomly. By aligning diversity intelligence with leadership values, strategies and communication practices to ensure a truly collaborative, inclusive and engaging work culture environment, we can inspire our high performance teams to manage the change that is inevitable with innovation in the 21st century.

Thank you for this post! I do agree with you that leaders who develop, motivate, and empower others are enhancing the entire organization, project, strategy, and themselves. However, it can be extremely challenging to discover what actually motivates others. What might motivate one person could be completely diverse from what another individual may deem as important. I believe perception, awareness, and acceptance are progressively as powerful and important within the integrated approach you speak of.
