I have chosen option 2 of the portfolio project to discuss modern leadership in a mid-sized company. The Diversity Advantage: Fixing Gender Inequality In the Workplace will be the book of choice used as a reference. This book provides an eye opener for competitive business organizations, executives and decision makers to make the workplace inclusive, diversified, cultured and gender equal. This is important as indicators suggest that 2020 the business industry will continue to grow rapidly. There will be more available leadership positions and by playing fair and ethical it is important to leverage or create a workplace atmosphere that is culturally diverse and gender equal. The ABC mid-sized global company, struggles with gender inequality observed in the board composition, leadership team and employee demographics where the ratio of men outweighs the ratio of women. This book highlights the importance of a company being diversified and gender equal and shows the positive effects a company gains from going from rock bottom to high sales and growth. The ABC company was regarded as one of the top 10 competitors but overall suffered low ratings such as number 50 on diversity and culture. This could affect the company’s overall rating and success if improvements are not made to its social image.
