工作总结计划How Do You See Diversity?
As a manager, Tiffany is responsible forinterviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During oneinterview, she noticed that the candidate never made
direct eye contact. Shewas puzzled and somewhat disappointed becau she liked the individualotherwi.
He had a perfect resume and gave goodrespons to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eyesaid “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her cond choice.
“It wasn’t untilI attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we pasd over wasthe perfect person,” Tiffany confess. What she hadn’t known at the time ofthe interview was that the candidate’s “different”
behavior was simply a culturalmisunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raid in a houhold where respectfor tho in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes.
好词好句三年级“I was justthrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffanysays. “I misd out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.”
Many of us have had similar encounters withbehaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and

own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates thepositive difference such training can make .
“During myMindts coaching ssion ,I was taught how
to recruit a diversified workforce.I recruited people from different cultures and skill ts .The agents were ableto utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company .Whenthe real estate market began to change, it was becau we had a diver agentpool that we were able to stay
in the real estate market much longer thanothers in the same profession.”
Blinded by Gender
Dale is an account executive who attendedone of my workshops on supervising a diver workforce . “Through one
of thessions ,I discovered my personal bias ,” he recalls . “I learned I had notbeen looking at a person as a whole person , and being open to differences .”In his ca , the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.
“I had amanagement position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man anda woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumedthe man was
the best candidate becau the position required quite a bit ofextensive travel . My reasoning would have been that even though bothcandidates were great and could have been successful in the position , I assumedthe woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel.”Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrectthinking that limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potentialof a diver workforce.
“I learnedfrom the class that instead of imposing my gender bias into the situation , Ineeded to prent the
full range of duties, responsibilities and expectationsto all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .” Dale creditsthe wo rkshop , “becau it helped me make decisions bad on fairness .”
