- einhverfr 14y agoYou know, Quakers still give children over a certain age (depending on meeting, maybe 7) full veto power over meeting business. And anarchists might have some helpful insights. I don't know what you have against Inuits though.
- kolinko 14y agoI'd say that if you'd bring in an average Inuit into a board meeting, you'd have some language problems, and you'd have to explain a lot of things to him. My argument is that there is such a thing as "too much diversity" - if a group that has to make some kind of a decision is too diverse, it will have communication problems. Therefore it's not as simple as saying "oh, anything that brings in more diversity is better for a board".
- einhverfr 14y agoIf the Innuit doesn't know anything about the business, then there is a different issue. If the business is drilling for oil in the Arctic, I think the average Innuit would have something important to say, though. But how many average anything do you see on boards of directors, I wonder.
- bsphil 14y agoThere's an awfully large gap between including female business professionals and including anarchists, Inuits, and children in a board meeting.
