More Advance Praise for Building a House for Diversity
"Roosevelt Thomas teaches all of us in corporate America a lesson about taking responsibility for valuing diversity in the workplace. His unique way of anecdotal storytelling calls on us to reaffirm our own personal commitment to diversity." Jim Wall, National Managing Director of Human Resources, Deloitte & Touche
"Thomas makes a major contribution to managers at all levels who are struggling to manage the competing demands for business success: organization productivity and a work environment that honors diverse individual needs. His use of a metaphor of giraffes and elephants provides a meaningful context for the mix of case presentations and analyses, and self-assessment tools, which are useful and thought-provoking." Richard Beckhard, Professor of Management (Retired), Sloan School of Management, MIT
"Thomas is truly a pioneer. Once again, he challenges the boundaries of our comfort zones in order to expand our understanding of diversity. In addition to breaking new philosophical ground, Building a House for Diversity provides concrete actions and specific behaviors that can transform committed individuals into mature diversity leaders. The book presents a complex subject in a lighthearted, easy-to-follow manner." Marcia L. Worthing, Executive Vice President, Mullin & Associates/Lincolnshire International
''With today's significant demographic and sociologic changes, businesses are struggling with the transformation from employee uniformity (assimilation) to workforce unity. Thomas's simple but forceful fable of the elephant and giraffe, as illustrated in real-life case studies, provides not only encouragement but also applicable skills for our individual and corporate journey to become effective diversity respondents and achieve diversity maturity." Mike Warren, Chairman & CEO, Energen Corporation

"Beyond Race and Gender was a conceptual eye-opener. Building a House for Diversity takes the concepts to a different, more personal level. Readable, credible, instructive!" Charles C. Butt, Chairman, H. E. Butt Grocery Company
"It is my experience that the biggest threat to an organization is not external, but internaland comes from executives surrounding themselves with people who think like them. Roosevelt Thomas, in his unsurpassed storytelling style, shows us the dangers of such isolation and insulation, and then proceeds to provide us with the recipes for gaining self-awareness and for taking charge of our own success. This transformational work is a must-read for both 'elephants' and 'giraffes' and deserves a special place on every manager's mindshelf and bookshelf." Deepak Sethi, Director, Executive & Leadership Development, The Thomson Corporation
''This book is not about abstract concepts it's about stories of real live people who explore growth on the axis of the competencies and skills of diversity within our organization. As we rage into the 21st century, these are competencies that are required. They will strengthen our organizational capabilities and enhance our emotional intelligence. A must-read for those of us working in the 21st century." Yvonne R. Jackson, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Human Resources, Burger King
"Managing diversity in our industry is a necessity if you want to be a creative and innovative firm. Dr. Thomas's book identifies how a company can build effective diversity so it delivers on its mission and reaches its goals." Peter Georgescu, CEO, Young & Rubicam Inc.
