Diversity beats ability. Really?

Research shows that diversity trumps ability. Does that imply that we should abandon meritocracy? That we should remove those "my child is an honor student at Neil Armstrong Junior High" bumper stickers from our minivans and randomly allocate top spots in our colleges and companies? Of course not.

Ability matters. But, here's the catch: so does diversity.

Diversity breeds high performance.

Rather than being on the defensive about diversity, we need to go on the offensive. We should look at difference as something that can improve performance, not as something that we have to be concerned about so we don't get sued.

Of course, diversity doesn't magically translate into benefits. The diversity that boosts business performance in a tangible way has conditions, but too many of those conditions are obscured by misaligned metaphors, clouded clichés and perfunctory policies. Diversability reveals the truth about diversity, the tools required to make it work for us, and why teams and companies are stuck at status quo without it.
