Managing Differences: The Critical 21st-Century Management Skill, 2nd Edition


The critical 20th-century management skill -- making things and people fit into systems that execute efficiently -- will inevitably be transcended by a different 21st-century critical management skill: creating the conditions in which people of widely varying backgrounds, behaviors, and inclinations can maximize their particular contributions to economic value. This is certainly happening in most firms in developed economies, yet most managers (especially IT managers) have not yet come to grips with it.

In this Executive Report, Rob Austin explains why accepting and finding places for "different" people is critical to your company's future, and especially to its ability to innovate. Cutter experts Tom DeMarco, Lynne Ellyn, Mark Seiden, Lou Mazzucchelli, Ron Blitstein, and Tim Lister also weigh in with their opinions on the topic.
