.“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.”
D I V E R S I T Y M O M E N T S
There never were in the world two opinions alike, no more than two
hairs or two grains; the most universal quality is diversity”

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the
world safe for 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.
