Diversity Collaboration GV

Love this image from a recent post by Gaping Void.

Diversity of thought is a topic I am highly passionate about. One of my core values is “Fair” and the conscious and unconscious biases in our world, ranging from race to gender to sexual orientation to religion to nationality and beyond, are all constructs based simply on fear of “others”, of those who are “not like us”.

Now, from a business leadership standpoint, as Gaping Void put so well in that simple equation, Diversity is a core asset if we want to bring Innovation to our businesses. As we cannot thrive without constantly innovating, those who are not diverse simply won’t innovate to the same level.

Logical and obvious, yes?

Biases are so, so powerful though, hence I and so many others will continue to consistently look to repeat the messages around diversity, trust, empathy, humility and other attributes as being key to the leadership we need for our world and our businesses now and into the future.
