Sara Wachter-Boettcher Quote

Phillips examined a broad cross section of research related to diversity and organizational performance. And over and over, she found that the simple act of interacting in a diverse group improves performance, because it forces group members to prepare better, to anticipate alternative viewpoints and to expect that reaching consensus will take effort.
