The world is shrinking. As technology makes it easy for people to live in one country and work in another, easily collaborate across borders, and have supply chains that are international, we need to learn new rules and adopt new attitudes. Indra Nooyi, a female Indian American is CEO of Pepsi. Tim Cook, an openly gay man, is the CEO of the world's first trillion dollar company - Apple. A black man was elected President of the United States. Progress like this scares many people, and it is not going to stop. Managers can choose to ignore it, fight it, or embrace it. Research at the best business schools in the world have amply documented the importance of diversity in a workplace. Diversity brings tangible advantages to any company. For this reason alone, I would suggest that managers learn to embrace it. This book will help business owners and managers navigate these new waters and flourish. In order to understand this change and progress, it is important to understand the struggles of those who personify it. Book two in the Let Her Finish series brings you stories and perspectives that would otherwise be impossible for the average tech manager to see or understand. It brings important perspectives for the manager that does not want to get run over and left behind by the changes that are happening, whether it scares them or not.
