Bøker av David Livermore

As our workplaces become increasingly global and diverse, being a culturally intelligent leader isn't just a bonus---it's essential.

In an age marked by increasing polarization, Digital, Diverse & Divided shows how we can build cultural intelligence and get along with people who are different from us. Our divides are destroying us: red versus blue, Black versus White, globalists versus nationalists, agnostics versus Christians. Drawing on seminal research on social identity and cultural intelligence, this book explains our impulse to divide people into ''us'' versus ''them'' and reveals how we can tackle tribalism, confront racism, and develop a common vision for the future.
