商品描述内容简介What could an elephant and a giraffe teach people about working together? Some very important lessons, it seems, about the complex -- and critically important -- issues of dealing with diversity in the workforce.Building a House for Diversity begins with a short fable about how a friendship between the two animals is threatened when the house built for a tall, skinny giraffe cannot accommodate his invited guest, a broad, bulky elephant. Using this story as a vivid metaphor for the difficult issues inherent in diversity, the book goes on to demonstrate how managing diversity can be seen as a set of skills that anyone can learn -- and use.
