Redefining DIVERSITY

"In Redefining Diversity, Dr. Roosevelt Thomas provides a powerful new way to address diversity of all types in the workplace. The insights in this book will be helpful for corporate managers in dealing with the challenges and opportunities presented by diversity issues." E.R. Brooks, Chairman & CEO, Central and South West Corporation "I now have an understanding of diversity that I can articulate to others. It goes well beyond race and gender and is inclusive rather than exclusive. It all comes together now!" William J. Mossett, Vice President & Director, Employee Relations & Diversity, SmithKline Beecham "Redefining Diversity takes the concept of diversity beyond the work force to the full scope of the enterprise. One will look at business issues in a different light and see solutions and opportunities that were obscured by `traditional' thinking. With his diversity paradigm, Roosevelt Thomas shows how managing diversity creates competitive advantage and bottom line results." Jack Koraleski, Executive Vice President, Finance & Information Technologies, Union Pacific Railroad Company "A must-read for every corporation that expects to prosper as we turn the century. It gives us a new understanding of a key global competitive advantage." Worth Loomis, Former President, The Dexter Corporation
