Based on extensive research of more than 50,000 global professionals across 72 countries, Driven by Difference provides an innovative, scientific approach for how organizations can catalyze innovation and growth through the power of difference.
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the value of diversity, diversity doesn’t always work out so great for many organizations. In fact, diverse teams underperform homogenous teams unless they have high levels of cultural intelligence or CQ.
