Equilibria 8 Essentials - Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity and Inclusion is the Essential that creates an environment of respect on a team and assures all team members that they are valued because of, and not in spite of, their unique Diversity Dimensions.


Globalization, modern transportation and the digital revolution mean that people from diverse backgrounds now regularly interact and engage with each other in the workplace. By emphasizing respect and value, Diversity and Inclusion can free everyone on a team from unproductive concerns and distractions, so each member can contribute their fullest potential to the team’s success. Whereas exclusion and uniformity lead to one-dimensional thinking and decision-making, Diversity and Inclusion lead to collaborative thinking, better decision-making and a higher performance team.


Leaders, team members, clients and other stakeholders all should be subject to and can benefit from Diversity and Inclusion.
