Let's be honest, the reason the media keeps pushing this #MariaSharapova -#SerenaWilliams "rivalry" is because our society is still uncomfortable with the idea of a black woman being unrivaled. https://t.co/PMD2SngZGJ

Focus on inclusion (rather than just diversity), on internal work (rather than just extrinsic factors), and long-run outcomes (not just immediate results). #Leadership

If you have a team of brilliant, but different, people they will see blind spots you miss, they will offer perspectives you have never thought of and they will identify risks that could have taken you down. #Leadership #Business

Inclusive Talent Management can help your organization perform better than standard homogeneous talent management. #Leadership

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

Leadership is trying to find ways to change the current constructs of the business and push the boundaries of societal and industrial norms in order to create new possibilities for the organization. #Leadership #PushingBoundaries

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

Barriers to enhanced quality economic growth and productivity are not just inflexible labour markets and taxes; they are also unconscious bias, implicit associations and sexist and homophobic attitudes that are deeply inefficient, as well as distasteful. #Leadership

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

Good leadership is by default inclusive leadership – taking a wide range of perspectives on board in order to inform and calibrate our decision making. #InclusiveLeadership

Great Leaders Are Thoughtful and Deliberate, Not Impulsive and Reactive. https://t.co/1AQk1u6uoh #Leadership @harvardbiz

People perform better when they can be themselves. #Leadership

When it comes to the workplace, surrounding yourself with sameness can come with severe consequences, while diverse teams can experience incredible benefits. https://t.co/OL0rqpZ9wh @ceoworld

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

In an environment of real inclusion there is greater potential for internal crowd sourcing of ideas, challenging of ideas, and refining ideas in real time. #Leadership

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

To create lasting change, we need to change #cultures, #habits, and the way we think about who takes care of children. A fathers-only leave policy may be an effective first step toward creating that more equal, desirable culture. https://t.co/DVy5c5ArlG @PeopleMgt

Diversity, when included, is better for customers, engagement, productivity, and decision making. #Leadership

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

Appreciate the need for organizations to adapt in order to survive and thrive. Doing this pre-emptively, and keeping up with a changing marketplace, is preferable to reacting late, which could be fatal. #Leadership

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

If we aren’t surrounded by difference, our ideas become increasingly reinforced by similar people around us. This could be a bad thing... https://t.co/OL0rqpZ9wh #Diversity #Leadership @ceoworld

[Raafi Alidina @ralidina]

Diversity can mitigate risk and also increase the resilience of teams in the face of change and unpredictable events. #Leadership

[Dan Rockwell @Leadershipfreak]
