A few years back, I was scheduled to attend the White Men and Allies Learning Lab hosted by White Men as Full Diversity Partners in Arizona. While I had read a few books on diversity, including Beyond Race & Gender (see blog post link), I knew I needed more. So, I picked up a copy of The Loudest Duck by Laura Liswood—Secretary General of the Council of Women World Leaders.
Liswood describes “Diversity 1.0” as “assembling Noah’s Ark”—bringing 2 of every kind into the workplace. She points out that if you want to create more diversity, you can’t just play the numbers game. You have to shape the attitudes and tendencies of people in the organization.
