Intercultural Communication: Respecting Diversity You are a new manager at K & J Brick, a masonry products company that is now run by the two sons of the man who founded it 50 years ago. For years, the co-owners have invited the management team to a wilderness lodge for a combination of outdoor sports and annual business planning meetings. However, several of your direct reports have physical disabilities that may prevent them from participating in the outdoor activities.

Recognizing that the company should have made these events more accessible a long time ago, you take responsibility for fixing the issue now so that everyone can be fully included in the event. Draft a short email message to the rest of the management team, outlining suggested changes to the annual event. (Use your creativity to make up any details about the nature of the outdoor activities.)
