Abstract

The article focuses on the importance of diversity in leadership performance and paradigms. Diversity can be viewed in a multitude of contexts, including country affiliation ethnicity, personal history, life experiences, economic growth conditions and social conditions. Meanwhile, the addition of context and language creates a kaleidoscope of humanity with specific needs and motivational approaches that require deep critical thinking from organizational leaders. While it is essential to share knowledge, it is equally important to encourage open discussion in diverse groups, wherein leaders need to be skilled in encouraging conversation rather than debate.
