Discuss the variety of differences between people in an organization such as race, gender, ethnic
group, age, personality, cognitive style, tenure, organizational function,
education, background, and more (Andersen & Moynihan, n.d.). As a result,
developing a deeper understanding of workforce diversity and its leadership is
specifically important in cross-cultural settings where employees of different
cultural backgrounds come together, and leaders are confronted with the
challenge of managing employees of diverse values and interests (Andersen &
Moynihan, n.d.).
Due
to the intervention of globalization and technological improvement, the demand
for knowledge-based enterprises rises. It is both employees’ and the leaders’
responsibility to enhance the success of workplace learning and workforce
development (Andersen & Moynihan, n.d.). A successful leader must know what
is expected by leadership and how to execute it accordingly. For the
sustainability of leadership, global leaders must diversify themselves
according to the cross-cultural trend. They must understand the significance of
leadership and leadership expectations, and then develop and sustain effective
leadership strategies for long-term change (Andersen & Moynihan, n.d.).
According
to Doerr (2018), there are four companies that effectively integrate diversity
and inclusion: Accenture, Medtronic, Diageo, and Gap. These companies have
become more self-aware, more curious about employees, and they co-create
inspiration and empowerment between leaders and employees with various
backgrounds. Conversely, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. needs work to improve its
diversity and inclusion efforts. According to the Calvert study, Berkshire
Hathaway is the second to the worst company in the S&P 100 for workplace
diversity (Investopedia, 2019). The company explicitly states it does not
consider diversity when selecting directors and board members.
