I think a lot of people don't know what diversity is.
and you end up with teams of different shades / colors / sexes etc but very similar in thinking.
diversity should be based on diversity of experiences / thinking not outward appearances that we select for these days.
if you have a team of 1 white guy, 1 woman, 1 black guy and they all grew up in upper middle class and went to harvard that's not diverse.

- goalieca 3y agoDiversity in experience, thought, skills make for an excellent team. I think it matters not what political views are but I do think diverse home lives can lead to a balanced work approach (some can pickup pager at 2am or work extra shifts, but everyone is mindful of leaving work at work and having a sustainable pace).
