Even with the best of intentions, we have a propensity to gravitate towards those that look and think like us. It takes a solid leader to allow people in their circle who think differently and challenge the status quo. But embracing this can change the fabric of a company, their culture, and spark new creativity and innovation that breathes life into an organization. According to multiple studies, diverse teams produce 19% more revenue and inclusive teams make better decisions 80% of the time.
