Misstep 2: Being disrespectful to diversity.

"It is no longer acceptable to disregard the diversity we value in our companies today, whether generational, gender, geographic, cultural, religious, etc. Major career missteps occur between the four generations in our workplace today, our globally diverse and often matrixed organizations, or gender differences in work style. Examples of behaviors that have hurt careers: Calling meetings on Saturdays, which is a day of rest for many cultures. Or excluding certain people from important business conversations because of their geographic location or need to work from home on a given day."

–Dana Manciagli, speaker, consultant and author of "Cut the Crap and Get a Job"
