The New Leaders: Leadership Diversity in America (Jossey Bass Business and Management Series): Ann M. Morrison

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Reflecting Morrison’s views on how to improve business practices, her third book offers advice possibly more helpful than Breaking the Glass Ceiling (about striving female professionals) and The Lessons of Experience (about successful executives). Here she concentrates on persuading management to promote and reward “people of color” and women, who are usually overlooked because of ethnic backgrounds or gender. Morrison spells out the benefits of leadership diversity to managers and employees, giving examples of working relationships, quoting interviews with leaders and persons moving up the corporate and/or government ladder and supplying statistics in an extensive text. As director of a study group at the Center for Creative Leadership in La Jolla, Calif., the author bases her guidelines on the organization’s research.

From Library Journal
This book builds on Breaking the Glass Ceiling (Addison-Wesley, 1987), which Morrison coauthored, and addresses issues of concern to white women and people of color. It is based on a study involving 16 organizations (both profit and nonprofit) identified as role models in diversity in management. The book is organized in three parts. The first discusses organizational benefits of developing diversity. The next part presents a strategy designed to make upper-level management positions available to nontraditional managers. The last part suggests specific steps to design and implement a diversity plan. Effective coverage of an important topic for the future; recommended for practitioners and students of management.
