Improving executive diversity is a priority
A few hiring decisions could make a big difference at leadership level
Diversity. It’s a simple concept – people from different cultures and with different life experiences bring different viewpoints to problems. Drawing on a broader range of viewpoints should allow teams to identify and solve problems in ways that benefit everyone, not just the comfortable majority.
Companies with tens of thousands of employees cannot radically change their demographic makeup overnight. But at the leadership level, the numbers are much smaller, and hiring just one or two people could make a big difference.
