Synopsis

Diversity of thought is the destination, but you don't get there by accident, happenstance, or as the result of a lucky break. However, organizations that cultivate it will find that it is a driver of innovation and a competitive advantage. This book simplifies the steps your organization can take to make diversity of thought a core strategy. Rodney C. Austin, an accomplished Fortune 500 executive, shares what led him to appreciate what an asset diversity of thought can be at organizations, backing up his view with statistics, quotations, and resources to help others get started. He also answers questions such as: - How has affirmative action affected workplaces? - What are the benefits of cultivating diversity of thought? - How can you make diversity initiatives robust and inclusive? The author emphasizes that it is better to have small successes than to overcommit, underdeliver, and lose credibility. Achieve a culture of diversity of thought by successfully implementing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging initiatives with the insights and action steps in Thoughtful Diversity.
