Diversity in the hospital C-suite: Walk it like you talk it Becker's Hospital Review Share

As the United States grows more culturally diverse and we hear more languages spoken around us, clinical medical education has had to evolve as well.

Want a team to be creative? Make it diverse HBR.org Share
Diversity is the crucial element for group creativity. Innovation teams tasked with creating new products or technologies or iterating existing ones need tension to produce breakthroughs, and tension comes from diverse points of view.

Everyone is just like us — say, marketers or engineers. Consensus comes quickly, and only later, when we fail and wonder why, do we realize that the easy agreements and shared conclusions doomed us from the start.
