Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Leadership, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This essay is designed to explore how leadership and management can facilitate effective working within diverse settings and improve the ability of diverse teams and global organisations to realise a shared vision. This essay also offers critical analysis on topics, such as cultural identity, change management in the contemporary world, relationships within diverse workplaces, and emotional intelligence. In contemporary organisations, leaders are tasked with the creation of sustainable settings for productive exchange and interactions among people from diverse backgrounds. The workplace has become a place where cultures, ethnicities and different races interact to share their experiences and work towards the attainment of a common organisational goal. When this diversity is harnessed effectively, it can act as a catalyst for creativity and innovation in the organisation and a pathway for greater effectiveness and organisational learning. However, when diversity is misunderstood, it could lead to a significant negative effect on the values, performance, and relationships at the workplace thus adversely impact on the overall organisation effectiveness.
