Corporate Tribalism: White Men/White Women and Cultural Diversity at Work
by Thomas Kochman and Jean Mavrelis
In their latest book Tom Kochman and Jean Mavrelis's share their expertise with the world. In the first half of the book, Kochman addresses white men, and the ways that their cultural background can motivate their behavior, work style, and perspective on others. Mavrelis turns to white women, focusing on the particular problems they face, including conflicts with men, other women, and themselves. Together they emphasize the need for a multicultural - rather than homogenizing - approach and offer constructive ideas for turning the workplace into a more interactive community for everyone who works there.
Written with the wisdom and clarity gained from two decades of hands-on work, Corporate Tribalism will be an invaluable resource as we look toward a future beyond the glass ceiling.
Black and White Styles in Conflict
by Thomas Kochman
"This book has advanced my own understanding of black/white relations on many fronts. It's Kochman's most brilliant contribution to the field, one that will illuminate racial misunderstandings that have been lurking below the surface for many decades. It's more than a contribution to scholarship. It can serve as a practical guide for anyone who wants to cross racial barriers in education, in business, or in social life."
