What Are Some Issues Managers Face When Leading a Diverse Workforce

What are some issues managers face when leading a various workforce? How can he/she overcome these issues? Most people, when they think of change they will automatically gravitate to the common four, which are race, creed, color and religion. However diversity takes on many different forms such as married or single, parents or single parent, educated or not, or even veteran or never served. So to go beyond the common four one would have to think we are always encountering diversity when we are out in the public.Everyone has the stereotyped stories about walking into 7-11 and finding the persons from India or some form of Muslim background Believe it or not, we face diversity as before long as we go into the public. We run into people from different countries, religions, beliefs and color. So to put that as a topic of a problem, in my opinion, is way over stated. alone ignorance can cause problems when dealing with diversities.I have to believe that we as a country have swung the p endulum too far in the sensitive direction that we falsify it almost impossible to function. I have to believe that if everyone treats everyone with respect then its really not a problem. On that kindred note if someone is offended by someone then its absolutely up to that person to say something in private to that person and give them the chance to settle that what they have said or done has offended someone else.So managers need to be aware of diversity and also provide some guidance for the coarse employees that may simply not know any better. So the bottom line, educating your people to be aware that not everyone grows from the same tree or has the same beliefs and I have to believe that it will work itself out. ?
