Secondary Dimensions of DiversitySlide16

Inclusion

Everyone counts

Everyone knows they count

Everyone knows they can count on each other Slide17

“Amazingly few people know how they get things done. Indeed, most of us do not even know that different people work and perform differently.

Too many people work in ways that are not their ways, and that almost guarantees nonperformance.

Like one's strengths, how one performs is unique. It is a matter of personality.”

Peter Drucker

Why Consider Personality?Slide18

Self Awareness

Option 1: The Enigma

“No one can put me in a box… I am too complex to be understood… so don’t even try…”Slide19

Self Awareness

Option 2: The Old Dog

“This is how I am. I’m not going to change. If you don’t like it, tough.”Slide20

Self Awareness

Option 3: The Open Book

“Let me tell you about myself…

My strengths and weaknesses…

Let’s consider how we might work best together

Generational Stereotypes

Loyalty, Gratitude, Fortitude. They’re dead, man.

You might want to get prepared to laugh the first time one of your young subordinates tells you he intends to work a mere 40 hours a week so he can go scuba diving.

We are dealing with a lot of tender little egos. They have to be told they’re loved quite frequently. They are less respectful of authority

Resents us because we feel they have no experience They leave jobs they don’t like We don’t know who we are hiring

Generation XGeneration X

BoomersSlide56

The young have superior notions, because they have not been humbled by life, they feel they have superior ideas.
