We Just Can't Handle Diversity
內容大綱
Decades' worth of studies show that a diverse workforce measurably improves decision making, problem solving, creativity, innovation, and flexibility. But most of us also believe that hiring, development, and compensation decisions should come down to merit. Although the two ideas don't seem contradictory, they're tough to reconcile in practice. Cognitive roadblocks keep getting in the way. The author looks at recent books and research studies on the subject, including Success and Luck: Good Fortune and the Myth of Meritocracy, by Robert H. Frank, and Pedigree: How Elite Students Get Elite Jobs, by Lauren A. Rivera. Frank points out, for example, that hindsight bias causes us to believe that random events are predictable and to manufacture explanations for the inevitability of our achievements. And winner-take-all markets intensify the consequences of our cognitive shortcuts. Rivera studied hiring committees at professional services firms that believed they were ensuring rigor and counteracting bias through group discussions of job candidates from the school-recruitment pipeline. But those conversations actually dampened diversity by giving negative racial, ethnic, and gender stereotypes greater sway over decisions.
