Comment on Diversity - More than meets the eye.

Comments

I recall a discussion here a while back where an employer related the story of interviewing a talented engineer who was a perfect fit--until he said he was going to play some "hoops." That single word disqualified him as not fitting the company culture.

I can imagine how diverse THEY are! Somehow, I can't see them being culturally homogenous but technically diverse.

Indeed! I couldn't agree more.

I liken a diverse company to what we see in biology. Diverse colonies of organisms tend to be far more resilient to hardship than homogeneous groups and lead to far greater overall success.
