We simply have more changes happening more rapidly. So it s harder and harder to keep up with rapid technological advances, demographic shifts and a body of knowledge that is doubling every two and a half years. Diversity is one of the most pivotal issues of our time. Issues of racism and sexism do not affect just one group. They affect everyone.
Inclusion leads to growth.
Rhett Butler and Scarlet O Hara are a classic example of what happens when you bring people of diverse cultures together without working at getting along. She wanted security, money, status, and aristocracy. He wanted romance, adventure, and independence. And you know what happened there. On the other hand, the television series Star Trek is a perfect example of successful diversity in the workplace.
