Others spent years trying to define diversity and rejecting every definition. Others spent years studying what to do and then gave up. Some companies never had any commitment to diversity but went through the motions because it was expected that they should look like they were doing something. Add them all together and we had a lot of false starts, dead ends, and empty gestures. I keep hearing from people who were caught in such mixed messages and double-binds.
Diversity is the great noble calling of America.
It remains the great unfinished business of the American workplace.
