The Diversity Bonus: How Great Teams Pay Off in the Knowledge Economy Paperback -

by Scott Page; Introduction by Earl Lewis; Earl Lewis (Editor)


From the publisher

How businesses and other organizations can improve their performance by tapping the power of differences in how people think What if workforce diversity is more than simply the right thing to do? What if it can also improve the bottom line? It can. The Diversity Bonus shows how and why. Scott Page, a leading thinker, writer, and speaker whose ideas and advice are sought after by corporations, nonprofits, universities, and governments, makes a clear and compelling practical case for diversity and inclusion. He presents overwhelming evidence that teams that include different kinds of thinkers outperform homogenous groups on complex tasks, producing what he calls "diversity bonuses." These bonuses include improved problem solving, increased innovation, and more accurate predictions--all of which lead to better results. Drawing on research in economics, psychology, computer science, and many other fields, The Diversity Bonus also tells the stories of businesses and organizations that have tapped the power of diversity to solve complex problems. The result changes the way we think about diversity at work--and far beyond.

From the rear cover

"If you want your business or team to perform better, read this book. With compelling evidence, examples, and writing, Scott Page makes the business case for drawing out diverse perspectives, and shows you exactly how to do it. A clear road map for every team and leader."--Laszlo Bock, former SVP of People Operations at Google and author of the New York Times bestseller Work Rules!

"Scott Page's research is a breakthrough in the business case for diversity and inclusion. The Diversity Bonus should be required reading for leaders who want to unlock the full potential and performance of their teams. It has profound implications for the future of work and talent management."--Matt Breitfelder, Chief Talent Officer, BlackRock

"An excellent book that combines convincing stories and persuasive arguments about the benefits of diversity."--Simon A. Levin, Princeton University

"It can be hard to persuade hiring managers and project and team leaders to move beyond the assumption that you get the best results by gathering a group of experts with similar skills and education. The Diversity Bonus is a scientific yet engaging look at why diverse teams always beat homogeneous teams comprised of the 'best' players."--Troy McIntosh, Senior Director, U.S. Cellular Corporation

"Scott Page challenges leaders and companies to follow the math--and do the right thing. Simply put, he shows that diverse perspectives are most valuable when addressing issues with both complexity and uncertainty. The goal is to create an inclusive culture and employee experiences that facilitate the ability to embrace and leverage each other's talents and differences."--Brian J. Miller, Vice President of Learning, Development & Inclusion, Gilead Sciences, Inc.

"Combining rigorous economic theory with artful policy analysis, Scott Page explains why the goal of achieving greater diversity in business, government, and other organizations needs to be pursued with determination. Devoid of political cant and platitudes, this book is teeming with unexpected insights. A must-read for anyone who wishes to engage in intelligent discussion about diversity and inclusion today."--Glenn Loury, Brown University
