The hot word right now seems to be 'diversity.' Every corporation, company, university, organization, club and even some churches talk about it and talk about supporting it. But, are they really interested in diversity or just interested in appearing diverse?
Look closer.
Are their Boards, Committees, Administrations or Officers a representation of diversity? If not, what is the explanation for it?
I sat in a diversity seminar a few days ago and someone said exactly what I was thinking. "It's not what you know, it's WHO you know!" That is an undeniable truth.
This one hires his frat buddy from college and that one hires his friend from the country club and that one hires his best friend's son. Where is the diversity in that?
How will diversity ever be truly represented if these Presidents, CEO's and HR Heads hire from "within?"
