the same. For example, the way employees contribute with their work. Having different ideas

and opinions can have bigger productivity.

 

General Motors had promised to promote women and minorities into

management positions, they succeeded its commitment to diversity by representing various

groups in leadership positions. There are some companies that are managed by women.

For example, "General Motors Reported Naming First Female CEO Mary Barra (THE

WASHINGTON POST,  Jena McGregor )."

are going to feel more comfortable with themselves and get along with others without having

other people judging them for who they are and not for what they bring to the table. They will be

more motivated and are able to share more ideas without worrying about what others might

say. 

General Motors measures its efforts by promoting diversity helping it to achieve business

and success by having both men and women work together in an environment where

business will grow and prosper. Lastly, it is always good to have two different perspectives,

They communicate more since they have different interests and motivations.  True teamwork

means our team members are open to sharing ideas
