Discuss some of the potential problems associated with diversity.
What will be an ideal response?
Overall, diversity may cause a lack of cohesion that results in a unit's inability to take concerted action, be productive, and create a work environment that is conducive to both efficiency and effectiveness. These potential problems are rooted in people's attitudes. Another potential problem that may be perceptual is that when culturally diverse groups come together, they often bring preconceived stereotypes with them. This perception can result in status-related problems. A related problem is inaccurate biases. Still another potential problem with diverse groups is inaccurate communication, which could occur for a number of reasons. One is misunderstandings caused by words used by a speaker that are not clear to other members. Another contribution to miscommunication may be the way in which situations are interpreted. Diversity also may lead to communication problems because of different perceptions of time.
