Why Diversity Matters
Diversity isn’t just a “feel-good” principle - it’s smart business. Teams with diverse backgrounds outperform homogeneous teams because they bring more creativity and problem-solving power to the table. When people from different walks of life share their perspectives, blind spots are revealed, assumptions are challenged, and better solutions emerge.
A Real-World Picture
Google, one of the most innovative companies in the world, has invested heavily in building diverse teams. Studies show companies with diverse leadership teams are 33% more likely to outperform their peers in profitability. That’s not coincidence - it’s the direct result of innovation born from diversity.
Humor Break
Imagine a band where everyone only played the drums. Loud? Yes. Musical genius? Not so much. A great team, like a great band, needs variety to create harmony.
Action Step for You
Take a look at your current circle - your team, advisors, even the voices you follow online. Are they all similar to you? If so, intentionally seek out one person with a different perspective to learn from this week. It could be a different industry, background, or culture. Stretch your circle - and your creativity will grow.
Closing
