Building a Diverse Team Series

Do you ever have trouble gaining the right perspective in your business, your leadership, or your life? When you possess an accurate perspective, you can more easily identify key problems, and, more importantly, identify key solutions in your leadership. But perspective isn’t gained alone. You need people on your team who think, look, and act differently than you do. You need diversity on your team.

This week on the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, we begin a new series on building a diverse team. That’s because diversity is an asset to any leader that wants to create powerful, positive change in their organization or community. 

During the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss John’s lesson and how the fear of conflict can get in the way of building diverse teams. If you want to build an unleash an all-star team in your organization, you do not want to miss this series.

Our BONUS resource for this series is the “Building a Diverse Team Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by clicking “Download the Bonus Resource” below.

    When I’ve had a diverse group who are trying to make a decision, but there are two opposing sides, I would ask each group member to present an inclusive positive decision that has equal value for both sides. This exercise was excellent because it
    required each member to think inclusively and creatively!
