>> "Facebook needs to replace its focus on engagement quantity with interaction quality. To really do that means replacing at least half of the leadership team and board with underrepresented people of color who are informed and value diversity and inclusion"
This seems to suggest that only people of color are able to focus on interaction quality. She is suggesting that people should be fired based on the color of their skin. That is racism.
- michaelt 9y agoI think what the article is actually trying to say is leaders place a higher priority on problems that impact them personally. If the mayor drives an F-150 truck, potholes will be less important than big parking spaces. If she drives a supercar, the reverse will be true. That's not to say a truck-driving mayor is incapable of understanding the supercar driver's perspective. Just that limited resources mean trade-offs always have to be made, and some combination of the power of dogfooding to inspire improvements, the power of self-interest, and the simple fact you see your own problems more often than other problems mean truck drivers will end up coming first. It's just human nature. Some people would say changing the composition of leadership is easier and bound to be more effective than trying to change human nature.
