Recommendation

Successful companies hinge on diverse teams. Make your team more inclusive by managing outside the box. After interviewing more than 200 successful bosses for his new book Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Manage the Flow of Talent, Dartmouth College business professor Sydney Finkelstein has some insight: Traditional ways of hiring and working need to retire. getAbstract recommends this inspiring, introductory-level read to those who are serious about bringing more diversity into the workplace but don’t know how. 

Take-Aways

  • Diversity is good for business but can be hard to achieve. More than 200 interviews with successful managers show four ways leaders can become more inclusive.
  • Impressive credentials aren’t always a reliable indicator of talent. Look beyond job seekers’ résumés for qualities like “exceptional intelligence, creativity and flexibility.”
  • Don’t stifle original thought with too many rules. Push team members to innovate by setting a “core vision” and encouraging them to work creatively toward it.
