ASSIGNMENT: Leadership & Diversity

Consider your reading "Leadership Initiatives for Achieving Cultural Diversity" in Chapter 14 (See Link), and then research how your chosen leader (Steve Jobs - Apple) did or did not follow best practices and initiatives for achieving cultural diversity in the organization.

For example in your paper discuss the following:

• Did the executive board contain any minorities? Explain which leadership practices were successful in diversity efforts and which practices needed improvement.

• Do you think these initiatives are critical for successful leadership? Why or why not?

• Did the leader hold managers accountable for diversity practices? How or how not?

• Did you particularly identify with an initiative or rate one initiative as more important than others? Why?
