Table of ContentsReviews'For much of its history, aviation (at least in the United States) has been prone to accept only male Caucasian persons as practitioners, particularly in the cockpit. As a result, the contributions of women and members of underrepresented minority groups, who found it difficult or impossible to find their places in this fascinating and rewarding field, were lost. Fortunately, those old attitudes are rapidly changing, and increasing numbers of these talented individuals are finding themselves accepted as aviation professionals. As this occurs, however, there are inevitable issues of understanding and acceptance of different ways of thinking, dressing, and comporting oneself. Professor Turney's book will be of great help to those of us who are charged with leadership in aviation organizations and those who teach the next generation of aviation professionals, as we embrace diversity and help to bring about the cultural changes necessary to allow every person to contribute fully and grow professionally.' Dr Thomas Carney, Professor of Aviation Technology, Purdue University, USA 'Vive La Difference! This book is a celebration of human contrast. The authors skillfully expose the grand spectrum of humanity and present diversity as an opportunity rather than a challenge. They propose skills that acknowledge human differences and capitalize on them. The book is must reading for anyone who yearns to build a highly effective team; the power of human difference can be the propellant to launch a team to elevated heights of performance.' Dr. Guy M. Smith, Professor of Aviation, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, USA 'I heartily welcome the publication of this informative and groundbreaking text...in particular the manner in which it helps orient us in new directions and encourages us to anticipate the kind of changes to which the aviation industry must adapt in the future.' Captain Neil Johnston, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland (from the Foreword) '...particularly of interest to those involved in training or managing airline personnel. There are many practical examples illustrating how diversity is manifested.' Aerlines Magazine 'The professional practitioner and academic reader with interests in people in logistics, supply chain and business organisational management should read this. It is not just HR's turf, logistics professionals with an eye on competitive edge and operations efficiencies may also benefit from a different look at the crucial contribution that people, and all their complexities, can make to operational success, or failure, in shifting product, people or services.'
