Question 3

2. One challenge for managing diverse teams is "providing a bridge across diversity." Discuss the "bridge across diversity" and what leaders can do to build that bridge.

Accepted Answer

"Building a bridge across diversity" refers to finding ways to bridge differences. Leaders may emphasize what is similar among team members rather than what is different. For instance, focusing on a superordinate identity, such as being Americans, helps team members look beyond subgroup differences. Leaders can emphasize superordinate goals that all members share, and they can point out common threats. Use of reward systems can also help. For example, rewarding a diverse team based on team performance decreases the salience of intragroup differences by creating a commonality within the team. Astrid Homan, the "Team Scholar" profiled in the chapter, discussed her research supporting this view and stressed how group fault lines can add to the challenge of building the bridge.
