knowledge-based society is more apparent than
ever.

Century Leaders must be open to change
and capable of a culturally sensitive global
perspective.
They recognize the importance of diverse
perspectives and skills, and possess "Impact
Leadership."

Leadership" calls for a new type of
leader - one who understands him/herself well and

The Premier International Gatherings of
Women in 2008
The
Women's Festivals, a new conference created to
"celebrate the accomplishments of women and
inspire others to realize their dreams," launched
with its inaugural event March 7 -
9 in Santa Barbara, California. The
brainchild of Patty DeDominic and Mary Schnack,
both successful entrepreneurs,
the event was created to
provide an interactive, multi-cultural forum
focusing on the five key areas of women's lives:
Personal, Professional, Philanthropic, Political,
and Planet. "We
call these the 5 Ps," said Ms.
DeDominic, recipient of the Los Angeles Business
Journal's 2006 CEO of the Year Award."
Hiroko Tatebe,
Founder and Executive Director of GOLD,
participated as a panelist in the workshop titled
"East Meets
West: Why Cultural Competence
Matters."
The panel discussion among
international business leaders focused on the ways that cross cultural
understandings and ethical principles
influence global business behavior and how
business relationships reflect these different
values. The panel was moderated by Laurie Harris, Visiting
Professor and Lecturer in Ethics at the University
of California at Santa Barbara. Other panelists included
Dr.
Dagmar Steinmetz, Director for the World
Association of Women Chiefs FCEM, and Yukako
Uchinaga, Technical Advisor, IBM Japan, Ltd., and
Board Chair, Japan Women's Innovative Network
(J-Win).

Global Diversity and Inclusion
Benchmarks
Global
Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks can help
organizations assess and measure their progress in
valuing and managing diversity and fostering
inclusion.
The
Bench Marks for Diversity was first published by
the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in the early
1990s.
Updated
in 2006 by Julie O'Mara and Alan Richter, 14
categories were researched and compiled to create
benchmarks that are derived from expert input
worldwide.
