Diversity Drives Effectiveness Across Age and Gender

Operating styles vary significantly across countries and cultural contexts, revealing a need for tailored approaches in business environments. Gender diversity plays a crucial role in workplace effectiveness, particularly in environments dominated by one gender, as it can lead to differences in perspectives and decision-making. Additionally, generational diversity influences communication and feedback styles, with noticeable variations between older and younger individuals.
