Managing Diversity:
The Challenge of the 21st Century
With the Cold War fading into memory, most conflicts in the new millennium arise out of religious, ethnic and cultural differences. Recognizing these complex causes of instability and bloodshed, F.W. de Klerk shares his Nobel-Prize winning experiences in the important lessons of negotiation, the management of change, and the exercise of leadership that led to the peaceful end of apartheid under his leadership. Focusing on the calculated risks and occasional leaps of faith involved in reaching agreements for enduring peace and prosperity, Mr. de Klerk offers insights into how his success can be replicated into any organization’s business model.
