Culture fit is what people really feel inside but don't want to talk about because the current religion dictates that diversity is the best thing for a company.

Culture fit is what people really feel inside but don't want to talk about because the current religion dictates that diversity is the best thing for a company. The thing is, for most tasks, homogenous and cohesive team is much more efficient and performant. It is easier for most people to work with people who are similiar to them, both culturally, racially, temperamentally, IQ level and anything else you can think about. Companies, like countries tend to disintegrate when they become too diverse. Sometimes, small doses of diversity are necessary for break throughs and creativity, but it is small doses, not the main way things suppose to work day by day.
- donbright 8y agoEvery single sentence you wrote above is factually wrong, demonstrated not only by the study of the history of economics and society, but also empirically in something as simple as a genetic algorithm evolution inside a computer.
- golemiprague 8y agoShow me any research about those subjects, especially the ones about diversity and I will show you 100 different parameters that the research didn't and can't control for. Also I will challenge you to reproduce those results and and I am willing to put my left arm on a bet that you won't be able to. On the other hand I can show you very homogenous and successful environments, first and foremost the silicon valley itself. Isn't the common complain is that there are too many cis white males there? So how come it is maybe the most successful part of the economy in the last 40 years or so? What about Japan and Korea? What about almost every sub genre in are and music which was developed usually by homogenous group? You bring me some theoretic algorithm in a computer, I show you huge entities of innovation and success in real life.
