These nine megaskills include: understanding my cultural identity; checking cultural lenses; global consciousness; shifting perspectives; intercultural communication; managing cross-cultural conflict; multicultural teaming; managing bias; understanding the dynamics of power. Highly interactive, promotes critical thinking, reflection, and application. Includes self-assessments.Specific performance skills at the beginning of each chapter enable readers to focus on certain competencies they will develop. By building these skills, readers will leverage cultural differences and become a much more valued employee. Throughout the text, research and theory is discussed, specifically with regard to culture and its impact on who we are, how we view ourselves and others, and how we relate in a variety of ways.
