Leading in a Diverse & Conflicted World:
Cruicial Lessons for the 21st Century
In today’s diverse and constantly changing world, excellent leadership is hard to find. With news stories about greedy, selfish, and shortsighted leaders making headlines it seems many of our organizations and societies lack the proper guidance to move forward. Leading in a Diverse & Conflicted World looks at the reasons for this lack of quality leadership and equips readers with solid steps to lead their organizations, and their societies, toward better futures.
Dr. John P. Fernandez, renowned leadership expert, founder and president of Advanced Research Management Consultants Global, in his new book investigates the lack of quality contemporary leadership. He provides solutions that balance our natural, innate desires around leadership with the rapid changes occurring across our global business landscape. Leading in a Diverse & Conflicted World provides a holistic, non-traditional approach to understanding why leaders fail their organizations and offers strategies and tools to improve knowledge and skills for those in leadership positions to become more effective in today’s turbulent and changing global climate.
As Fernandez attests, leaders must start by understanding the ways they have been influenced and why they see the world the way they do. Self-reflection is the first step, followed by truly understanding the numerous and complex conflicts that have existed within all levels of societies and organizations for thousands of years. Many leaders are unable to meet the high standards that followers expect; not because they lack aptitude, but because leadership education, development, and training do not cover key areas needed to deal with these human conflicts.
Fernandez shows how organizations that hire and value diverse employees will gain a competitive advantage and he equips readers with solid steps to lead their organizations toward better futures. “Just as human society benefited from the unification of diverse cultures, experiences, and skills, corporations that work to include and value diversity in this increasingly interconnected world will achieve and sustain a competitive advantage,” writes Fernandez.
