by Juana Bordas (Author)
A practical guide to leadership in America's ever-increasingly diverse workforce, featuring approaches from non-European and non-white communities.
Our nation is quickly becoming a multicultural cornucopia. Tapping the potential of our changing demographics requires a leadership approach that resonates with our growing diversity. In Salsa, Soul, and Spirit, Juana Bordas shows how incorporating Latino, African American, and American Indian approaches to leadership into the mainstream has the potential to strengthen leadership and inspire today's ethnically rich workforce. Bordas identifies nine leadership principles common to all three cultures. Principles deeply rooted in each culture's values and developed under the most trying conditions. Using a lively blend of personal reflections, interviews with leaders, historical background, and insightful analysis, she shows how these principles were developed and illustrates the creative ways they've been put into practice. Bordas weaves these principles together into a multicultural model that offers a more flexible and inclusive way to lead. Multicultural leadership resonates with many cultures and encourages diverse people to actively engage, contribute and tap their potential. In a globalized economy, success for leaders will rest on their ability to shift to a multicultural approach. Salsa, Soul, and Spirit provides conceptual and practical guidelines for beginning that process. The revised and updated second edition speaks to how the Millennial generation value diversity and resonate with the leadership principles in communities of color. "This wonderful book made me want to dance with joy. In Western society, we suffer from a loss of community and spirit because we're so disconnected. American Indian, Latino and African American cultures have never forgotten that we need to be together, and that diversity is not a problem, but a blessing. May this book lead you to discover what we've been missing--each other." --Margaret J. Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science "Juana Bordas has broken new ground. She has documented and analyzed the effective and unique practices of Latino, Black, and American Indian leaders. Salsa, Soul and Spirit is a fascinating read that shows us the road to leadership for a multicultural America." --John Echohawk, Pawnee, executive director, The Native American Rights FundAuthor Biography
