It is so true that organizations don't always get to the root of a challenge but oftentimes skirt around the issues. Your story brings to light the importance of welcoming diversity and addressing some of the obstacles presented by multi-cultural backgrounds. But diversity can also provide such richness to an organization. Thanks again for your wonderful insights! Terri Hi Chery,

The organization I was working for had just recruited and relocated a young man from Puerto Rico and relocated him across the country. He had the best attitude and every possible indication that he would be extremely successful. A few weeks later his manager started to wonder why he was not progressing as quickly as expected. As we examined the situation we realized that although he spoke broken English, many of the terms he needed to use to describe his work did not translate directly from Spanish to English. And although we had provided a very skilled mentor for him, the mentor spoke fluent Korean and very limited English. Once we realized the root of the challenge, we were able to provide better tools and support for everyone involved. Not surprisingly - results improved! Teri,
