Diversity Without Inclusion Is Dangerous #shorts

There's a couple of things here. Firstly, it's diversity needs to be more than just demographic diversity. It should be cognitive diversity. And then number two, as you say, Ashish, you don't just need diversity, even if diversity is holistically defined. And so you have a diversity of thinking, you need inclusion so that those diverse thoughts actually surface. Because if I think differently, but I know that I have to bury it because I know that if I was to speak up, then people will just not like it. I then actually diversity is negative. It'd be better for everybody to think the same way than for me to think differently but be frustrated that I have to bury it and keep it to myself. So yes, it's easy just to say, oh, the one secret to success is diversity. But as we've established so far in our conversation, there's often multiple secrets to success. And so what we need is not just demographic diversity, but cognitive diversity. And not just cognitive diversity, but inclusion. A place where people are willing to express their different viewpoint.
