The Power of Difference by Karen Jackson
This is a guide to how diversity of all kinds can be a major asset in teams. It shows how different types of diversity offer different strengths and resources (from ethnic, gender and religious differences through to differences of temperament, personality and capability). Most team leaders have far more material with which to solve problems than they realise within the personal make-up of their teams. This book describes how they can go about releasing this powerhouse of diversity for beneficial results.
Ian Taylor and Karen Jackson are both directors of the Deva Partnership Ltd, a consultancy that specialises in working with teams in solving business issues. They have forty years experience between them working in both private and public sectors. Their approach to team development and problem-solving is based on an analysis of data collection from the team members, language sharing, creating dialogue and valuing difference. Ian Taylor both challenges the team and coaches individuals to raise their performance, thereby achieving outcomes that exceed expectations. Dr Jackson has acted as a visiting lecturer on several MBA programmes in different business schools in the UK and abroad.
