For my term paper, I would like to discuss the ethics of embracing diversity and the importance of diversity management. Diversity management is the key to development in a competitive market. Corporations cannot hide behind a lack of cultural intelligence. Corporations must embrace diversity if they want to pursue global market relevancy. This should be completed through how they think, act and innovate. Embracing diversity is not just about meeting a quota embracing diversity is a necessary ethical based leadership skill. Diversity management is a vital ethically based professional leadership skill that all should implement.
