Kay Iwata has built a reputation in the diversity field as a consultant with a strong inclination toward practical application. The applications are supported by a solid foundation of conceptual clarity and understanding. The focus of her first book is no surprise. The POWER of Diversity: 5 Essential Competencies for Leading a Diverse Workforce is based upon a first-of-its-kind field study to understand the “how to” of diversity competence for managers and leaders. She has effectively translated the lessons from the study into realistic workplace applications. This content has been successfully used by several major organizations to increase their diversity competence.
