.“We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.”

There never were in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains; the most universal quality is diversity”

“Managing diversity well provides a distinct advantage in an era when

flexibility and creativity are keys to competitiveness. An organization

needs to be flexible and adaptable to meet new customer needs”.

“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must

understand that all the threads of the

tapestry are equal in value no matter

what their color.”

“Diversity for the sake of diversity is not an

accomplishment or a step

forward. It's what you

bring to the table”. by Charlie Gonzalez

The working population has changed. Therefore, the

people running companies have to change too. A board

meeting is not just about looking at the figures and how

the company is performing. A board is made up of peo-

ple -- human beings interacting with each other to help

steer the company through changing and challenging

times. Hiring fellow directors

in your own image might seem

comfortable, from a "getting

on" point of view, but it is not

necessarily in the best interests

of the company, its stakehold-

ers or its employees. A good

board of directors will take

time out to examine itself, and

to challenge itself to ensure

that all the decisions it makes

are with an eye to doing what

is in the best interest of the

company. This is the true

meaning of good corporate

governance. This includes how other board members are

appointed -- who should be selected to maximize the

operational efficiency of the board whatever their back-

ground, gender, color or religion. A good headhunter or

executive search specialist can be enormously helpful in

moving this forward. If they have the knowledge, com-

petence, and trust to have a frank and honest discussion

with the directors, they can help to shape the future

composition of the board by proposing candidates who

have the background and experience to move the busi-

ness in a positive direction.

Leveraging the true power of diversity inside your

teams, to engage your employees and gain your competi-

tive edge has never been more important. Increasing

productivity through reducing barriers and increasing

individual skills is paramount to success. In every busi-

ness to be successful you must engage your people and

help them to understand that

diversity is the key to success.

As a Diversity Manager teach-

ing diversity is a passion be-

cause it creates long lasting

relationships.
