Build high-performing boards by recognizing the power of quiet diversity—the hidden characteristics that shape how your board thinks, feels, acts, and ultimately governs.
Building a diverse board isn't just about ticking boxes. Yes, representation based on gender, race, and background is important, but there is another layer to consider: quiet diversity.
Quiet diversity is the unseen spectrum of individual differences that shape how we think, work, and collaborate. It's the unique blend of decision-making styles, risk tolerance, and information processing that makes each of us valuable contributors.
When you tap into quiet diversity, you unleash a powerful force for better decision-making. Imagine a boardroom where different perspectives challenge assumptions, leading to more innovative and holistic solutions. That's the magic of quiet diversity!
GRI (Growth Resources Institute) can help you harness this power. We empower Nomination and Governance Committees to recruit not just high-functioning board members but also those who bring a rich tapestry of true diversity, visible and quiet.
