Yet, we don't hear a lot about all of the problems that can arise in culturally diverse workplaces. 

"The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer is a roadmap to understanding the differences in how we work and navigating those differences successfully. That way, we can experience the benefits of cultural diversity in the workplace.
