How Do You See Diversity?
• Hire Advantage
• Blinded by Gender
• Year of the Know-It-All
• A better Bottom Line
1. What bothered Tiffany during an interview with her
candidate?
A)He just wouldn’t look her in the eye.
B)He was slow in answering her questions.
C)His resume didn’t provide the necessary information.
D)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant .
• 1. As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for
interviewing applicants for some of the positions
with her company .During one interview, she
noticed that the candidate never made direct
eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat
disappointed because she liked the individual
otherwise.
• 2. He had a perfect resume and gave good
responses to her questions, but the fact that
he never looked her in the eye said
“untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job
to her second choice.
• 2. Tiffany’s misjudgment about the candidate
stemmed from
.
• A) Racial stereotypes.
• B) Invalid personal bias
• C) Cultural ignorance
D) Emphasis on physical appearance
misjudment
• 3.“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop
that I realized the person we passed over was
the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she
hadn’t known at the time of the interview was
that the candidate’s “different” behavior was
simply a cultural misunderstanding . He
was an Asian-American raised in a household
where respect for those in authority was shown
by averting(避开) your eyes.
• 3. What is becoming essential in the course of
economic globalization according to the author?
• A) Hiring qualified technical and management
personnel.
• B) Increasing understanding of people of other
cultures.
• C) Constantly updating knowledge and
equipment.
• D) Expanding domestic and international
markets.
• 5.Many of us have had similar encounters with
behaviors we perceive as different. As the world
becomes smaller and our workplaces more
diverse, it is becoming essential to expand
our under-standing of others and to
reexamine some of our false assumptions .
• 4. What kind of organization is Mindsets LLC?
•
•
•
•
A) A real estate agency.
B) A personnel training company.
C) A cultural exchange organization.
D) A hi-tech company
Hire Advantage
• 1.At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more
difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the
process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets
LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots .
A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive
difference such training can make .
• 2 “During my Mindsets coaching session ,I was taught how to
recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different
cultures and skill sets .The agents were able to utilize their full
potential and experiences to build up the company .When the real
estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse
agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much
longer than others in the same profession.”
• 是company，不可能是cultural organization
• 没有提到hi-tech company
• 5. After one of the workshops ,account executive
Dale realized that
.
•
•
•
•
A) He had hired the wrong person.
B) He could have done more for his company.
C) He had not managed his workforce well.
D) He must get rid of his gender bias.
Blinded by Gender
• 1. Dale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops
on supervising a diverse workforce . “Through one of the sessions ,I
discovered my personal bias ,” he recalls . “I learned I had not been
looking at a person as a whole person , and being open to
differences .” In his case , the blindness was not about culture
but rather gender .
• 2. “I had a management position open in my department ;and the
two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this
workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the
best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive
travel . My reasoning would have been that even though both
candidates were great and could have been successful in the
position , I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with
her children and not travel .”Dale’s assumptions are another
example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an
organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse
workforce .

• 6. What did Dale think of Mindsets LLC’s
workshop?
•
•
•
•
A) It was well-intentioned but poorly conducted.
B) It tapped into the executives’ full potential.
C) It helped him make fair decisions.
D) It met participants’ diverse needs.
• 3. “I learned from the class that instead of
imposing my gender biases into the situation , I
needed to present the full range of duties,
responsibilities and expectations to all
candidates and allow them to make an informed
decision .” Dale credits the workshop , “because
it helped me make decisions based on
fairness .”
•
7. How did Doug, a supervisor, respond to a
Chinese-American employee’s request for leave?
A)
B)
C)
D)
He told him to get the dates right.
He demanded an explanation.
He flatly turned it down
He readily approved it.
Year of the Know-It-All
• 1. Doug is another supervisor who attended one
of my workshops .He recalls a major lesson
learned from his own employee.
• 2. “One of my most embarrassing moments was
when I had a Chinese-American employee put in
a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese
New Year . In my ignorance , I assumed he had
his dates wrong , as the first of January had
just passed . When I advised him of this , I gave
him a long talking-to about turning in requests
early with the proper dates .
• 8. Doug felt
when he realized that his
assumption was wrong.
• 3.“He patiently waited , then when I was done , he said
he would like Chinese New Year did not begin January
first , and that Chinese New Year ,which is tied to the
lunar cycle ,is one of the most celebrated holidays on the
Chinese calendar . Needless to say , I felt very
embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up .
But I learned a great deal about assumptions , and that
the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to
culture .
A better bottom line
• 9. After attending Mindsets’ workshops, the participants
came to know the importance of
to their business.
• 1. An open mind about diversity not only improves
organizations internally , it is profitable as well . These
comments from a customer service representative show
how an inclusive attitude can improve sales .”Most of my
customers speak English as a second language . One of
the best things my company has done is to contract with
a language service that offers translations over the
phone . It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’
training that she was able to understand how important
inclusiveness was to customer service . As result ,
our customer base has increased .”
• 10. When we view people as individuals and get
rid of stereotypes , we can achieve diversity and
benefit from the
between us.
• Once we start to see people as individuals . and
discard the stereotypes , we can move positively
toward inclusiveness for everyone . Diversity is
about coming together and taking advantage of
our differences and similarities . It is about
building better communities and organizations
that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our
shared humanity .

from the media, peers , family , friends , etc , we begin to
realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的)
or contrary to our fundamental values . We need to train
our-selves to think differently , shift our mindsets and

opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit
everyone .
