You may be forgiven for thinking, having read the title, that this book is going to be a difficult read.
Well, it is not. Author Bryan Hopkins writes in an engaging and easy-going style. Right at the start he describes what the book is and what it is not. For instance, he says it is “an attempt at explaining how different cultural characteristics may affect how people behave and perform in their workplace, leading to ideas about how diverse workforces can be managed effectively” but is “not about how to promote cultural diversity in the workplace, although I would like to think that this is implicit within what it says”.
