The Paradox Of Diversity In Public & Private Sectors

Do you feel isolated, unheard, or unseen at your workplace because you are different from the dominant or majority group? Are you a leader striving to create a diverse workforce and a positive, inclusive climate? Are you a leader desiring to create a workplace where all employees, regardless of their race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and age, feel welcome and able to be themselves?
In "The Paradox of Diversity in Public and Private Sectors: Reflection of an African-American Female Educator," workforce diversity trainer and motivational speaker Kehinde Olowoyeye shared her personal and professional experiences. She used different scenarios based on her perspectives of the events to describe how the intersections of power, politics, leadership, and race impact decision-making, creating three fundamental paradoxes of diversity. In this book, you will discover:
How tokenism creates isolation in a workplace
How leaders' actions, regardless of their race, uphold dominant culture's ideologies
How leaders' actions, inactions, and unethical behaviors encourage a noninclusive climate
How to avoid the paradoxes of diversity

This book is for employees and leaders of public and corporate organizations, the public school system, and colleges that desire to advance their workforce diversity to improve productivity.
