are becoming more diverse to better function, compete and succeed
in today's global market. That means tailoring policies and
adapting business strategies to fit multiple languages, different
religious backgrounds and cultural nuances. "Diversity is at the
heart of globalization," said the CEO of diversity-consulting firm
Virtcom Consulting. "It's happening across economies on a global
scale, and it will only grow in the future." USA TODAY (7/8)

Managers
today are challenged to address the needs of multigenerational
groups of employees who have a variety of work approaches and

subordinates as a result. The Wall Street Journal (subscription

- Define your leadership style
How
you cope with change and guide others through transitions defines
what kind of leader you are. Whether you are a Conserver,

- Ask for feedback if you feel invisible at
work
Getting
left out of meetings or important committees at work may be a
result of your performance or lack of visibility. Even if you are
a manager, ask your boss firmly and directly for feedback on your
exclusion and how you might get involved in such gatherings. Be
sure to explain what you can bring to the discussion. American City Business Journals (7/2)

crowd
A
business needs to establish a niche and use its unique qualities
and offerings to set itself apart from the competition. The
Internet enables businesses to reach an infinite number of people
in a number of ways. Before delving into the Web, though,
