The whole point of diversity in the workplace is not just about tolerance, but also embracing and leveraging different perspectives that can spur creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. So culturally competent employees are primed to contribute more to the organization and become higher performing.
Good storytelling shouldn't be limited to when a company needs to sell products to customers, it should also be applied to how employees communicate their ideas and findings to each other and to higher ups. A good framework to consider when you're the storyteller is the 3R's of storytelling. The 3 R's stand for: relatable, remarkable, and relevant.

DownloadAs the dialogue within a multicultural and articulate workforce deepens, the role played by conflict resolution and negotiation techniques becomes increasingly apparent. Frameworks like the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Model help employees can gain insight into their own and others' conflict-handling styles.

The Thomas-Kilmann model identifies five primary conflict-handling modes based on assertiveness on the y-axis and cooparativeness on the x-axis. For example, in a competing mode, which is fueled by high assertiveness and low cooperativeness, the focus of the conflict is to get your perspective accepted. Understanding one's preferred conflict-handling style and then adapt it to the situation can lead to more effective resolutions and workplace dynamics.

It's no surprise that those who are equipped with good soft skills can devote more energy into creative ideas that drive innovation, or even become effective leaders that bring out the best in their peers. Ultimately, while automation helps to drive down costs, human talents are the brainpower that drives future business growth and brings the next big idea to life.
