It requires us to be truly open to learning about each other and genuine. Managers who struggle to lead diverse teams may not be ready, and are often promoted too fast. It is a slow process to develop and prepare someone to lead people.  Our childhood experiences influence our professional development perspectives, and outlook.  Nurturing family traditions such as fishing trips create lasting memories while appreciating the beauty found in nature.
