Authors BJ Gallagher and Warren H. Schmidt Release 20th Anniversary Edition of "A Peacock in the Land of Penguins" to Commemorate Martin Luther King Day
Oakland, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2015 -- Berrett-Koehler Publishers is pleased to announce this brand new edition of the classic, international bestseller A Peacock in the Land of Penguins by management consultant BJ Gallagher and University of Southern California Emeritus Professor Warren H. Schmidt brings new insight to the challenging issue of workforce diversity. People who have perspectives that differ from the business as usual are often ignored or criticized for the very thing that makes them valuable: their diverse points of view and creative ideas. The book demonstrates how to establish a culture of pluralism in which diverse ideas can flourish and innovation can take flight.
Written in a charming, engaging style, this contemporary fable explores a drama unfolding in organizations all across the country – how to build on the diversity of today’s workforce to harness the talent, energy, and commitment of all employees. This special 20th Anniversary Edition includes many tips, tools, and strategies … and a brand new bonus parable, “The Penguins Ate Your Cheese!”
