Learning to tackle workplace challenges more effectively, navigate professional relationships with élan and strategically orchestrate their team’s successes are among the skills multicultural managers and executives master in this consumer products company’s myriad leadership programs. Formal training, mentoring and stretch assignments help them thrive, as do employee resource groups that include the Asian Action Network (co-host of a symposium for multicultural women) and the Black Action Committee (which frequently features speakers on African American culture). The 26-chapter Women’s Network has its own global steering committee and resource center, giving its members advocates everywhere. Mentoring sessions find senior executives advising junior women on the best ways to demonstrate leadership.
