The first paragraph is her premise. On first read, I uncharitably dismissed it - "yeah, tech companies should be tripping over themselves to achieve diversity so they can take advantage of this.... uh, correlation with.... a hot 35% bonus....in the mission-critical field of "probability of "performing well""" (all quotes intentional). Then I charitably followed the links in the paragraph. The scientific studies are underwhelming (in terms of convincing a tech company to do something). The mckinsey article cheapens itself towards the end ("The unequal performance of companies in the same industry and the same country implies that diversity is a competitive differentiator shifting market share toward more diverse companies." That implication is terrible) It's not hard to understand how diversity in the workplace might challenge our minds more, keep us more professional (in company culture and hiring practice), improve fitness in whatever other ways. But it's all conceptual, and until there's more scientific evidence, the literature has to settle for being obnoxious - light on information, heavy on telling the reader what to think before and after said information (tabloid style).
