    Excepts from this conversation with Simma Lieberman:

    And I look at work cultures in terms of who's in the organization, how do people feel about working in the organization, if they feel included, if they really feel included, or if they're made to feel included, then they feel like they belong.

    If they feel like they belong, it means that then they're very comfortable to attributing their best work attributing the genius in the organization, they're willing to take risks, they're willing to stand to be willing to speak up. And when people don't feel included when they feel excluded, they don't feel part of the organization.

    And they're more afraid to share their ideas. They don't really see how they fit into the whole organization. They don't have a sense of belonging. And they're just there. And oftentimes, people will leave if people don't feel included in organizations, they don't feel like they're really being valued as an individual, they're gone.

    -----

    Diversity is all the differences and similarities that people bring to the workplace and the complexities and tensions that go along with that.
    You want to have diversity. But oftentimes, when people think diversity, they just think representation of people who look different.
