Description: Inviting someone to join your team and then actually working with them are two separate things. How many of us have been part of teams where we felt like the outsider? We are only here because they were forced to put me on the team. Or worse, I feel invisible.
In recent years, the power of diversity has become clearer and clearer. We know that by being part of groups that bring different perspectives and walks of life to the table, we are able to achieve greater heights than sequestering ourselves inside of an echo chamber. We have taken the first steps by including those who do not look, sound, or think like us. However
Diversity is having a seat at the table. Inclusion is having a voice in the conversation.
It is not enough to have a diverse team. That diversity is for naught if team members feel scared, invisible, or unwanted. We can only reach greater heights of performance and community through active involvement. Inclusion is essential. Its time to begin the conversation on the difference between inclusion and diversity and find a path that not only encourages but desires all voices to be part of the conversation.
